About user The access level assigned to a user account – Standard or Advanced – determines the user's
access levels access to certain software settings and functions. The table below summarizes the differences in
privileges between the two access levels.

Preparatory steps
Description
During hardware initialization, the system returns all motorized parts (i.e.,
the gantry, HSM module, and thermal cycler) back to their home positions.
Additionally, the system checks for the presence of any tips on the
micropipettor and, if necessary, disposes of those tips in the tip waste bin.
The system performs an IHC each time it is powered on (after login) and
each time a protocol run is initiated. The checks performed during the IHC
ensure that the hardware is functioning within specifications.
Auto-teaching is a process in which the system locates and records the
positions of markers (called teach points) that are printed on the
instrument deck. Auto-teaching ensures that, during a run, the
micropipettor is accurately aligned with the tubes or wells at each deck
position.
You can configure the system settings to include teach-point verification
as part of the initial IHC that is performed after powering up the
instrument. During teach-point verification, the current teach-point
locations are compared to those that were previously recorded during the
most recent auto-teaching run to ensure that the values are sufficiently
within range of each other. If the values do not fall within the expected
range, the system prompts you to rerun auto-teaching.
