Display Confirmation

Screens

Enables confirmation dialog boxes to display when you initiate many

of the maintenance commands.

Drain Used during troubleshooting to help remove debris from the bottom

of the cuvette. When draining, you do not need to supply solution.

Draining takes approximately two minutes and should be followed

by an alcohol flush with 70% isopropanol or 70% ethanol. Any fluid

that drains from the system drains to the Luminex XYP reservoir as

the default. However, you can set the system to drain to any unused

well on the microtiter plate. The drain function normally expels 125

µL of fluid.

Eject/Retract If the XYP plate is retracted, this command ejects the microtiter

plate. If the XYP plate is already ejected, this command retracts the

plate.

Enable Raw Data Storage Saves bead event data to the database.
