Genome Analyzer User Guide[edit]

SCS v2.4[edit]

  • start up scsv2.4

setting the run parameters[edit]

  • click <view>
  • clear box next to show on start up
  • from the data collection screen
  • edit|run parameters|GA Settings / RunBrowser Settings

GA Setting[edit]

  • specify the network location for run results
  • set perferences for real time analysis results
  • set settings for auto calibration
*delete images (select this option to delete images from the genome analyzer computer after analysis

Validation strings[edit]

  • edit if you are using a customized identification system

Use auto calibration[edit]

  • select this option to enable the auto calibration feature
  • refer to page 29 for a description of the auto calibration feature
  • note: if this option is cleared, focus calibration must be performed manually as described in appendix B

Run Browser Settings[edit]

  • runbrowzer reports, specify which runbrowser reports you want to show and export
if selected the first cycle is generated by the software
  • enable runbrowser report emails to sens reports to the email addresses specified
  • after you have finished selecting the settings in the run parameters window, click <save & continue>/<cancel & continue>/<reset default configs>
