94 | Appendix A: Install the Barcode Scanner
Barcode Scanner Overview
The scanner reads the barcode label when it delivers the plate to instrument. When
a valid barcode is read, the value is displayed in the supporting software, e.g.,
passed to Gen5 for storage in the Gen5 experiment file. Barcode scanner options are
also available in Precision Power Software through the Supply Command and To-
Do List features.
Not compatible with Synergy Neo and Synergy Neo 2, which use their own
n
barcode scanner.
