Getting Started
When using a new system for the first time, the system has no pre-
existing data in its database. After the initial splash screen
disappears, the system prompts you to enter xMAP calibration and
control target values.
You must enter these values before the system may proceed to the
main menu. Enter the calibration and control target values found on
the Certificate of Quality (COQ) included in the shipment of
products. You can also find the target value information on the
Luminex website at
http://luminexcorp.custhelp.com .
The system stores the information you enter into the database and
proceeds to the main software screen.
When entering information into the system, you may see an asterisk
character at the top-right corner of the entry field. Figure 17
identifies the asterisk with a circle. The asterisk indicates that this
information is required. If a field does not have an asterisk by it, then
that information is optional and not required.
