Getting started
4. Plug in the software dongle.
5. Press the black button on the front of the instrument to switch the light on – the lighting
can be cycled between using the lower lights, the upper light or both the upper and
lower lights by repeatedly pressing this button.
To start the aCOLyte3 colony counting program:
1. Double-click on the aCOLyte3 icon on the Windows Desktop:
If user authentication is disabled (see Managing aCOLyte3 users , page 95), the program
will open immediately and you will not need to follow the remaining steps in this
procedure.
Otherwise, the Please log on to aCOLyte3 dialog box will be displayed:
Note If user authentication is enabled, this dialog box is also displayed when you log out from
aCOLyte3 or if you are logged out automatically by aCOLyte3 because you have not used it
for a set period of time (5 minutes by default) – see
Logging out and closing aCOLyte3 , on the
facing page, for more details.
2. Enter your Windows Username – the name you use to log on to Windows on this PC.
3. Enter your Windows Password – the password you use to log on to Windows on this PC.
Notes aCOLyte3 checks that the user name/password is a valid combination to log on to Windows on
this PC, but does not check that it is the currently logged on user. This means that you can log
on to aCOLyte3 while someone else is logged on to Windows on this PC.
4. Press OK.
The aCOLyte3 Application window will open. You can now either create a new ‘batch’ (see
Creating a completely new batch , page 18) or open an existing batch if there is one (see
Opening and selecting batches , page 61) and start counting colonies immediately.
