Saphyr Instrument Controller Specification
The Instrument Controller is designed to be located adjacent to the Saphyr Instrument. The two systems are directly
tethered for controlling the instrument and direct data transfer of image files.
Note:
The Saphyr Instrument Controller is a Windows Operating System that contains a series of embedded accounts, including SaphUser,
which is the default account for User Instrument Operation. Do not modify the SaphUser windows account credentials.

Instrument Controller Network Connectivity Requirements
The Instrument Controller connectivity requirements are broken into two parts. The first is the required connection
to the Bionano Access Server. The recommended connection is via a direct tether connection to eliminate the
possibility of instrument downtime due to network issues. The system can optionally be connected via the
customer’s network though this is not preferred.
To maintain optimal performance, security, and reliability, it is strongly recommended that the Instrument Controller
be connected to the customer network to provide access to the Saphyr Assure, TeamViewer and Windows update
services. See the References section for links to more information about these services and the benefits that they
provide.
