6 Troubleshooting Procedures
7 Confirm instrument-to-computer communication.
When communication between the instrument and computer is interrupted, as with a
power failure, a red X appears over the FLEX icon on the SOFTmax PRO status bar.
Once you correct the problem, and the instrument has completed its startup cycle
again, the red X over the instrument icon in the status bar should disappear,
indicating that communication has been successfully reestablished.

FLEX Icon, No Communication
If the red X remains after the warm up sequence, select Preferences from the Edit
menu of SOFTmax PRO and view the Preferences dialog box.

Make sure the Serial Comm Speed (the communication rate, or baud rate) is set to
9600.
Note:
When the FlexStation II instrument starts up, it begins with a serial comm rate
of 9600 Baud. Upon initiation of a microplate reading, SOFTmax PRO issues a
command to change the rate to 57600 Baud, where it remains until power is shut off
to the instrument.
If you continue to see the red X after confirming the Serial Comm Speed, see section
6.4.7, Recovery Procedure.
