Every time the software starts, if the computer is connected to a Dispenser, the computer checks
the Dispenser USB communication, verifies that the dispenser components are operational, and
moves the stage and the pogo mechanism to their home positions. If the computer is not connected
to the Dispenser, the software is fully functional but the GO operation works in a demonstration
mode.
Once the startup routine is complete, the HP D300 Digital Dispenser main operating window
appears, showing an empty Fluids List and an image of an empty well plate. See
