4.2.3 USING AN OCTANE DETECTOR WITH GENESIS SOFTWARE
When a detector is used with the Genesis software, a small icon is placed in the Windows Task Tray that
provides control for the detector for cooling and driving the optional motorized slide.
The detectors may be hardware or software interlocked with the microscope. Some or all may simply be
software buttons that the user must acknowledge that it is ok to cool the detector. Toggle so each
Safety Interlock is Green.
