ibidi Pump System
Figure 15: Setup of the drying bottle beside the incubator.
1. Place the end of the black-marked tubing inside the incubator. Make sure that liquid does not
enter the tubing!
2. Connect the end of the yellow-marked tubing to the back port of the pump.
Option: Negative pressure:
ibidi strongly recommends the application of positive pressure. Nev-
ertheless, if for some reason you wish to work with negative pressure, the drying bottle must be
inserted in a different way. Follow the instructions in Section
5.4
Installing the PumpControl Software
The PumpControl software comes pre-installed on the laptop that is delivered with the ibidi Pump
System. If you need to install the software on a different computer, follow the instructions below.
Important!
The power and update options on a computer running PumpControl must be set so as not to
interfere with the software. Disable all functions, such as updates, screensaver or shutdown when
closing the laptop, at least during the duration of the experiment.
ibidi does not guarantee the function of PumpControl on computers other than the laptop deliv-
ered with the system.
The installation software for PumpControl is provided on a USB flash drive. If the setup does not
auto-run after connecting the flash drive, doubleclick on the “setup.exe” file and the installation
will begin. The installation includes both the PumpControl program and the runtime engine from
National Instruments GmbH. Both programs will be installed following the two installation routines.
