62 | Appendix B: Error Codes
Code Description and Probable Causes
*120x
Carrier Autocalibration data missing.
Probable causes:
x = 0 or x = 1 Main PCB or software is defective.
x = 2 Insufficient light:
• The PCB was changed and the flash memory does not
have the calibration values loaded.
• Flash lamp, optics, measurement diode PCB, or filter
wheel is defective.
• Autocalibration needs to be run.
• Main PCB failure.
*1300
*1301
*1302
Carrier not homed in the x-axis.
Carrier not homed in the y-axis.
Order sorting filter wheel not homed.
This error is usually only seen if an error 0200 is ignored. See
the probable causes for 0200.
1600
PC Command format error.
Probable causes:
• The wrong version of Gen5 is being used.
• The USB driver or cable connection is defective.
1700
Interval too short for selected options.
This error indicates that the kinetic interval in the current
assay is too short.
Increase the kinetic interval.
1900
Memory allocation failed.
This error is typically used only for software development
purposes. If it occurs, however, try turning the instrument
off, waiting 30 seconds, and then turning it on again. If the
error persists, contact BioTek TAC.
1F0r
Overlap error in PC command definition.
This error indicates that the largest wavelength minus the
smallest wavelength is larger than the wavelength interval in
the assay definition command from the PC for readset = r =
1–6.
