Chapter 3: Getting Started
Now that you have installed the SoftMax Pro Software software on the computer, removed
the tape from the cuvette port, and connected the cables, it is time to get started.
Turn on the instrument power switch located on the rear of the instrument. Wait for the
instrument to complete its diagnostic check and the plate drawer opens.
The following are the main components of the instrument:
Control panel: Enables you to open the plate drawer, control the read chamber
temperature, and set the wavelengths.
Cuvette chamber: Enables you to read the contents of a cuvette.
Plate drawer: Enables you to insert the plate to read.
CAUTION!
Never touch the internal optic mirrors, lenses, filters, or cables. The optics
are extremely delicate, and critical to the function of the instrument.
