4. Inserting and Defining Filter Slides

4.3.1

Defining the Filter

Caution

Any changes to the filters in the filter slide are to be carried out by the

service engineer! The instrument is able to recognize predefined filter

slides and you should not attempt to change the filter values.

However, if the filters in the filter slide have been changed (by a service

engineer) or if a new undefined customized filter slide is to be used, the

filter slides need to be defined.

Define a filter as follows:

1. Close

XFLUOR

2. Click

the

RdrOLE

icon in the

TECAN

group, and the RdrOLE screen is

displayed.

3. Select

Connect

from the

Instrument

menu. You are now connected to the

GENios.

4. Select

Define Filter

from the

Setup

menu.

5. The following dialog box is displayed showing the filter values for the

excitation and the emission filters:

The Define Filter Dialog Box:

You can choose the options from the right

column of the dialog box for GENIOS

6. Enter the new wavelength for each new filter. Ensure that the wavelength

corresponds with the filter position.

7. Accept the new filter values by clicking

. You are now ready to collect

data with the new filters.

8. Exit

RdrOLE

by clicking

Exit

in the

File

menu and restart

XFLUOR

9. This completes the installation procedure.
