Cytometer Configuration Window
The BD FACSAria cytometer is equipped with a specific set of lasers, filters, and
dichroic mirrors. The Cytometer Configuration window lets you define which
fluorochromes or cell parameters will be measured at each photomultiplier tube
(PMT) detector. Within this window, you can define parameters for an unlimited
number of fluorochromes, up to three lasers, and up to 15 detectors.
Select Cytometer > View Configurations to open the window shown in
Figure 3-5 on page 88. Click the Parameters tabs for a list of parameters. Click
the Filters and Mirrors tab for the list of optics.
The Cytometer Configuration window also displays these settings:
• Sheath pressure
• Nozzle size
• Window extension

See the Cytometer Setup and Tracking Application Guide for complete
information on editing configurations, including adding parameters, mirrors, and
filters.
