Self Diagnostics

Command

Run self diagnostics to see if the Luminex 100 analyzer and all
system operations are running correctly.

The system tests these functions when running self diagnostics:

Flash memory test

Microcontroller RAM test

Nonvolatile memory test

DSP program CRC test

DSP capture test

High voltage module

Channel backgrounds test

Pressurization test

Note:

The system may show

a default location. In this case,
the microtiter plate shows a
well with a yellow line inside
the well.

Note:

Running the self

diagnostics test resets the
laser and begins a 30-minute
warmup process.
