Specifying Ui Preferences; Setting Up Vacation Mode - BIO RAD ZE5 User Manual

Chapter 5 Configuring the System

Specifying UI Preferences

You can specify display preferences for various items in the Everest Software user interface, for
example, the number of recent experiment sessions to display, or whether button tooltip text appears.
To specify UI preferences
1. In the Home window, click Global Preferences.
2. In the UI Preferences area, use the slider to select the number of recent experiment sessions to
load.
Note: If you select a very high number, it could take a while to fully load the list of recent
experiment sessions. To display all sessions for an experiment in the Recent Experiment
Sessions list, click the down arrow next to the experiment name in the Home window.
3. Select the Show Button Text checkbox to display button text; clear it to hide button text.
4. Click OK to save the changes.

Setting Up Vacation Mode

To maintain optimal system performance, Bio-Rad recommends that you run the ZE5 Cell Analyzer
regularly without long periods of disuse. If your instrument will not be in use for an extended period,
you can use the Everest Software vacation mode to schedule automatic startup and perform the QC
process regardless of whether an operator is in the lab.
During the vacation period, if system startup or QC is not initiated by a user, the following processes
occur on the specified interval:
n
Startup
n
Laser warmup
n
QC and ZE5-EYE processes
n Record QC results
n
Run for the specified time
n Shutdown
