Recovery Procedure
When there is an instrument malfunction in which fluid was left in the
tips, rebooting the instrument does not automatically reset the fluidics
module. An additional recover cycle is necessary to restore successful
communication between the instrument and the computer. This
procedure is a precautionary step, designed to minimize the potentially
very serious consequences of liquid spillage in the instrument.
1. After the instrument completes the restart sequence, observe
the instrument display.
If the temperature display on the front panel of the
instrument is blank and a red X is covering the instrument
icon on the SoftMax Pro Status bar, then see Problems
During Startup on page 130.
If the temperature display on the front panel of the
instrument displays the actual current temperature, but the
red X is still covering the instrument icon on the SoftMax Pro
Status bar, then continue to the next step.
2. Click Control > Recover.
The recover process is essentially a second startup cycle that
restores the fluidics module to operating conditions and restarts
the instrument.
3. Click Continue to recover the software.
If the red X still remains after the Recover procedure, view the
Preferences dialog in the software and recheck that the serial comm rate
is set to 9600. For instructions, see
Problems During Startup on page 130.
If you cannot establish communication between the instrument and the
computer with the Recover procedure, contact Technical Support. See
Obtaining Support on page 114.
