What to do if Awareness Technology CHROMATE Laboratory Equipment shows 'Cannot open serial port: Please make sure Plate Reader is ON'?
If you encounter the error message “Cannot open serial port: Please make sure Plate Reader is ON” on your Awareness Technology Laboratory Equipment, verify the connections between the instrument and the computer.
What to do if Awareness Technology CHROMATE says 'Connection to the plate reader failed'?
If your Awareness Technology Laboratory Equipment displays the message "Connection to the plate reader failed," check and verify the connections between the instrument and the computer.
What does 'Do you want to add a new curve (blank) to the plate for this assay?' mean on Awareness Technology CHROMATE Laboratory Equipment?
The prompt 'Do you want to add a new curve (blank) to the plate for this assay?' on your Awareness Technology Laboratory Equipment will appear if you are running Samples without Standards, or without Standards and a Blank.
What does 'Reset the Plate?' mean on Awareness Technology CHROMATE Laboratory Equipment?
If you see 'Reset the Plate?' on your Awareness Technology Laboratory Equipment, it indicates that the plate layout will remain as it is unless you reset or clear it.
