Notes
Enable the Notification Settings (Optional)
Enable the notification settings so that the 7500 software alerts you by e-mail when the
7500/7500 Fast instrument begins and completes the run, or if an error occurs during the
run. Enabling the notifications settings is optional and does not affect the performance of
the 7500/7500 Fast system or the duration of the run.
IMPORTANT!
The notification settings feature is available only if the computer that you are
using is running the 7500/7500 Fast instrument
and
is connected to an Ethernet network.
