Get protocols from a memory stick - USB drive
Important: Put the protocols you want to transfer to the washer in a folder called
Protocols. The 405 Touch expects to find a Protocols folder on the memory stick.
You can exchange 405 TS protocols with other users, copy protocols from one
washer to another, or obtain sample protocols from BioTek's website using a
USBstick:
1. Insert the memory stick into the USB port on top of the washer.
2. Select Instrument>Next>Other from the Home screen.
3. Press Transfer Protocols.
4. Choose the File Source: USB to copy protocols from it to the washer.
(Conversely, choose Internal to copy protocols to the flash drive to share them
with another instrument.)
5. Optionally, apply the Lock files option to prevent users from changing the
protocols.
6. Select files individually by highlighting them (touch) or transfer all protocols
simultaneously.
Locked files: you can "unlock" a protocol by replacing it using the Protocol Transfer
control. Upload the protocol to a USB stick, make sure "Lock files" is disabled and re-
transfer the protocol. It will overwrite the existing file.
Watch a training video
The 405 TS offers a simple video viewer to show short videos from BioTek. The
video player is useful only for BioTek-provided videos with restricted frame
speeds and the Windows file format: .wmv.
1. Insert the USBflash drive containing the video file into the USB port.
2. Select Instrument>Next>Other from the Home screen.
