What to do if I get error 6106, 'Instrument initialization failed' on my MSD MESO QuickPlex SQ 120 Laboratory Equipment?
To resolve this issue, follow these steps: 1. Shut down the computer. 2. Shut down the QuickPlex SQ 120 instrument. 3. Restart the computer. 4. Restart the QuickPlex SQ 120 instrument. This procedure should help re-establish communication between the instrument and the computer if a communications failure has occurred.
How to troubleshoot if my MSD MESO QuickPlex SQ 120 does not power on?
If your MSD Laboratory Equipment isn't powering on, check the following: * Ensure that the power cords connecting the instrument and/or computer to the external power source are properly plugged in. * Test the outlet by connecting a different electrical device to see if there is voltage at the outlet. * Note that fuses on the QuickPlex SQ 120 instrument are internal and must be replaced by an MSD Service Engineer.
What to do if I get error 515 during data analysis on my MSD Laboratory Equipment?
If you encounter Error 515 during plate reading or data analysis on your MSD Laboratory Equipment, it might be due to a full Plate Data History database. To resolve this, click OK to continue and then back up and clear the database. For DISCOVERY WORKBENCH v4, consult the DISCOVERY WORKBENCH User’s Guide for instructions on backing up and clearing the database. The software log may contain a message such as: Could not allocate space for object 'PIDTable' .....in database 'LCPRSchema' because the 'PRIMARY' filegroup is full.
What to do if MSD MESO QuickPlex SQ 120 skips reading the plate?
If the instrument fails to read the plate and the Status window jumps from 1 % to 100 % on your MSD Laboratory Equipment, it's likely because the instrument couldn't read the barcode. This can happen if the barcode is damaged, smudged, marked, or otherwise unreadable. To fix this: * Verify a barcode is smoothly affixed to the side of the plate. * Select the appropriate plate type from the pull-down menu, and read the plate again. * If the barcode is damaged, reverse the orientation of the plate so that the barcodes on the other side of the plate are read.
Why does my MSD MESO QuickPlex SQ 120 show Error 515 when running a plate?
If you receive Error 515 after clicking the Run button on your MSD Laboratory Equipment, it might be due to changes in Windows security settings, networking parameters, or the instrument name. It could also be due to incompatible anti-virus software. First, click OK to continue. Then: * Determine if your IT department has recently made changes to the instrument computer. * Temporarily disable the antivirus program to see if that resolves the issue. Consider excluding the file C:\Program Files (x86)\MSD Discovery Workbench\lib\prefs.properties from scanning, disabling real-time scanning, or uninstalling the antivirus program and using a different one.
What to do if I get error 515 when initializing my MSD MESO QuickPlex SQ 120?
If you encounter Error 515 after clicking the instrument icon on your MSD Laboratory Equipment, it might be due to a change in the Windows theme. Click OK to continue and restore the default Windows theme. Also, check if your IT department has made any recent changes to the instrument computer. The sysinfo file contains a software log that can be used to diagnose the problem. See Section 7.2 below for instructions on creating a sysinfo file.
