Important!
The Synergy HTX is shipped with a set of excitation
and emission filters installed, and the Synergy HTX’s onboard
software is preconfigured with the filter values and their
locations.
If you change the contents of a filter wheel, you must update
Gen5’s filter table and then download the information to the
reader. The Synergy HTX does not automatically detect which
filters are installed.
See page 42 for information on updating Gen5’s filter table.
Removing the Filter Wheels
The filter wheels can be removed if different filter wheels need to be installed.
