Registering an Instrument
You can register an instrument in the software on the Devices page in Configuration mode.
Registered instruments use one of the following connections:
Direct Connection:A direct Ethernet connection between the instrument and the host
computer running the CellReporterXpress software in a standalone configuration.
Remote Connection:Anetwork Ethernet connection between the instrument and the host
computer running the CellReporterXpress software in a network configuration or a server
configuration.
The Devices page contains two tabs:
My Devices:Lists all registered instruments available to you for acquisition and
maintenance.
Add Device:Lists all registered instruments connected to the host computer. From here,
you can add instruments to the list on the My Devices tab, which makes them available for
acquisition and maintenance.
You must add at least one instrument to the list on the My Devices tab to acquire an image.
For each instrument, a status indicator shows one of the following:
Online
Offline or Incompatible
Busy

Note: If the status indicator for an instrument shows Incompatible, the instrument
firmware version may not be compatible with the software version. For details on
updating the firmware, log in to the Molecular Devices Knowledge Base at
