Echo Liquid Handler Software Installation
Labcyte installs the Echo Liquid Handler software onto the client PC that is connected to the Echo Liquid Handler. If you need to
install the software onto additional computers, such as network PCs, use the instructions provided in this section. See
Considerations for advantages and disadvantages of connecting more than one workstation.
Note: If you are connecting the Echo Liquid Handler to a LAN via a hub, switch, or router, use a standard ethernet cable. If
you are connecting the Echo Liquid Handler directly to a workstation, use the included "cross-over" Ethernet cable.
During installation the Echo Liquid Handler software will provide the following installation types:
Client (Only): Installs the Echo Liquid Handler software onto the client PC that is connected to the Echo Liquid Handler
l
(normal mode). The software allows the operator to communicate with, control, and monitor an Echo Liquid Handler
through easy-to-use software screens (Graphical User Interface). This option requires a host name or IP address of the Echo
server.
Client and Server:
l
Normal Mode installs the Echo client software onto the client PC and the Echo server software onto the Echo
l
controller. This software is installed by Labcyte field engineers.
Stub Mode creates a virtual Echo instrument onto the client PC that developers can use to develop and test custom
l
software.
Note: Use this installation type only if you are writing your own programs that will call the Echo ActiveX
programming interface. Call Labcyte Service and Support if you have any questions regarding this
installation type.
