To operate your VSpin, you need to connect it to the computer that is
running your lab automation software. For example, if you are using a
Velocity11 BioCel, your VSpin needs to be connected to the computer
that is running VWorks.
For more information about how the VSpin software integrates with your
lab automation software, see "Software Overview" on page 9.
Before you can control the VSpin with your computer, you need to
connect them together with the included serial communications cable.
To connect the VSpin to the computer:
1. Plug one end of the serial communications cable into the serial
interface on the back of the VSpin.
