Tests
Software Installation Verification
This evaluates computer specifications and verifies that all components have
been installed correctly.
Please refer to the Agilent Information Center for details on failed tests.
Two procedures test the following items within 1 minute:
• Computer Specifications
• Software Specifications
System Verification
The System Verification consists of tests to confirm functionality of various
components of the system. See step by step instructions on this under
“Executing System Verification Tests” on page 120. Test duration is
approximately 20 minutes. Tests are organized in test groups for computer
environment, robotics, electrophoresis, and vision system. The verification
comes with predefined tests. Deselection of individual tests is possible. After
entering the System Verification, the selection can be modified. Some tests are
interdependent and require execution of others as prerequisite.
The System Verification runs automated and semi-automated tests which
possibly require user input during execution.
The System Verification requires the following material upon start:
• TapeStation Test Tape (5067-5601)
• Full rack of Loading Tips (5067-5598)
• Pipet tip waste bin
It is required to ensure the ScreenTape nest covers and the gantry cover are in
place during execution of the System Verification.
This test indicates if personal computers and laptops which are not matching the laptop
bundle of the TapeStation System are suitable for running the TapeStation Analysis
Software.
