Online vs. Offline Installation
The software has two start-up modes:
• Offline (Desktop)
• Online (Instrument)
The default start-up mode is determined during software installation in
the Online/Offline dialog.
After the software is open, you can switch modes by selecting Go
Online or Go Offline from the Instrument menu.
Online (Instrument) Mode
When launched in this mode, ScreenWorks Software checks for
instrument connections. If no connections are sensed, you are notified.
You may then either check the connections and attempt to connect
again, or choose to run the software in Offline mode.
If you create a protocol in Online mode, only the current instrument
settings are allowed. Protocols created in Offline mode with hardware
settings that do not match current hardware settings are flagged. You
must change the hardware settings to match those in the protocol in
order to run it.
When ScreenWorks Software is launched in Online mode and connects
to the instrument, the default installation configuration file is
overwritten using the current instrument settings and plate library
information.
If you are running in Online mode and then switch to Offline mode, the
instrument setup configuration will be the last Online configuration.
Note: Switching modes after the software is opened does not change
the software startup mode chosen at the time of installation. To
change the default startup mode the ScreenWorks Software must be
reinstalled.
Note: To be able to select any configuration to generate protocols,
you must install the software in Offline (desktop) mode.
