Monitor and Keyboard Placement
The host computer provided with FLIPR
®
Tetra System is mounted to
the instrument’s right side. This computer provides the only direct user
interface and path to control the instrument. Monitor and keyboard for
this computer are mounted to an adjustable arm on the instrument’s
front right. The following image illustrates this installation.
The host computer, keyboard, and monitor may be moved to a different
location at the user’s discretion. Wherever the host computer is placed,
it must be directly connected to the instrument. It is not possible to
communicate between the host computer running the ScreenWorks
Software and the instrument across a network. A short communication
cable is provided between the computer and instrument. In order to
move the computer, the user may need to provide an alternate cable.
This cable must be a shielded crossover Category 5 cable.
Required access areas
The all inclusive system dimensions (with TETRAcycler and Cell
Suspension) are approximately 53 inches (1346 mm) wide by 29 inches
(737 mm) deep by 70 inches (1787 mm) tall. The FLIPR
®
Tetra System
is designed with rolling castors so it can be readily moved to make
necessary adjustments and perform maintenance. Leveling feet are
also installed on the lower instrument chassis. These feet are typically
used for stabilizing the instrument when integrated with a robot, but
can also be used to establish a uniform instrument deck level in
situations where the lab floor is not flat. When running an experiment,
please make sure the instrument’s feet are lowered and leveled.
The computer and monitor are mounted to the right front side of the
instrument with the included clamp, requiring a minimum lab space of
85 inches (2159 mm) wide by 61 inches (1549 mm) deep for
maneuverability. A minimum 28 inch (711 mm) square footprint for tip
