Because this software can change your system to the point that the autosampler and
Thermo PAL does not function properly, make changes to objects only if you are an
advanced user and understand how the changes you make can impair system functioning.
Thermo Fisher has defined the hardware and software configuration for your autosampler.
Changes to this configuration can impact system functioning.
When you add a new hardware module to the Accela Open Autosampler, use the PAL Object
Manager software to load new PAL firmware objects onto the system to support those
modules. The Object Manager mode also helps create and maintain object lists from an
existing Accela Open Autosampler.
After adding an object to the Accela Open Autosampler, choose Restart Pal from the File
menu to start the system so other software applications can use the object.
The latest PAL Object Manager software is backwards compatible. You can use the software
with all PAL firmware levels.
