5. Operation
The LS SERIES SCANNER is operated using personal computer based software
control. The Array Pro Software is used both for instrument control and data
analysis.
This chapter describes the instrument and the instrument control software. It is
intended for a general understanding of instrument parameters and operation.
For details of the data analysis see the corresponding Array Pro software manual.
Suggestions are made on how to optimize the instrument parameters for your
applications.
Every effort has been made to ensure that the instrument will work correctly even
if the default parameters are not appropriate for a particular application
- with an important exception:
Caution
When placing a sample into the sample carrier,
always make sure that the correct slide and slide carrier definitions are
selected in the software.
Wrong definitions, especially with special samples can lead to damage of
the instrument or the sample.
