Installing Detection Cartridges
When you install a detection cartridge in the instrument, the SoftMax Pro Software detects
the cartridge and displays the related data acquisition settings on the Settings dialog and
enables the applicable read modes. You can install most detection cartridges into any of the
first three slots in the detection cartridge drawer. The slot furthest to the rear (slot 4 ) is
reserved for the SpectraMax Injector Cartridge.
Note:
When you use the software in offline mode, all detection cartridges display on
the Settings dialog.
CAUTION!
To prevent damage to the installed detection cartridges and the
instrument, do not manually slide the detection cartridge drawer in or out when the
instrument is powered on or when one or more detection cartridges are installed in
the drawer.
To install a detection cartridge:
1. On the microplate reader touchscreen, touch
to open the detection cartridge
drawer.
2. Remove the red cap from the detection cartridge. The Transmitted Light (TL) Detection
Cartridge does not require a red cap.
