HiSeq X Software
Three software applications are installed on the instrument computer:
}
HiSeq X control software
—The HiSeq X Control Software interface guides you through
the steps to set up a sequencing run. During the run, the control software operates
instrument hardware, controls fluidics, sets temperatures, and provides a visual
summary of quality statistics.
}
Real-Time Analysis software
—Integrated with the control software, Real-Time
Analysis (RTA) performs base calling and assigns a quality score to each base for each
cycle. For more information, see
.
}
Sequencing Analysis Viewer software
—Sequencing Analysis Viewer (SAV) provides
detailed quality statistics.
HiSeq X Control Software Interface
The Welcome screen is split into 2 panels, 1 for flow cell A and 1 for flow cell B. You can
set up a run for flow cell A and flow cell B in parallel using the software interface. Runs
can also be set up independently using the software interface.
The Welcome screen provides commands to begin a sequencing run, wash the instrument,
and perform a system check. When a run is complete, the software returns to the Welcome
screen.
