Maint
ain the instrument from the touchscreen
The touchscreen provides access to a few maintenance functions that cannot be
accessed remotely from the QuantStudio
™
Real-Time PCR Software. Unlike the
maintenance performed using the QuantStudio
™
Real-Time PCR Software, some of
the touchscreen functions are not part of the recommended maintenance schedule.
The frequency that you perform them depends on your laboratory policies.
• Back up and restore the instrument seings (see page 87)
• Perform an instrument self-test (see page 89)
• Update the instrument rmware (see page 89)
Note: The touchscreen does not provide access to all instrument functions. Features
such as instrument calibration and remote notication are available only through the
QuantStudio
™
Real-Time PCR Software.
You can use the QuantStudio
™
6 or 7 Flex System touchscreen to back up the
instrument seings (icon, standby time-out, and cover idle temperature), and some
network seings (the Autodiscovery and Smart Monitoring options). If the
QuantStudio
™
6 or 7 Flex Instrument seings are reset, you can restore the seings
using the backup.
Note: The backup feature can be used as an administrative tool to manage
QuantStudio
™
6 and 7 Flex Systems. You can use the feature to create a standard
“image” for a QuantStudio
™
6 or 7 Flex Instrument that can then be restored on other
instruments to bypass the manual setup process.
