1. In the Save tab, perform these optional tasks as needed.
• Change the settings for Plate file name and File save location. This location specifies the
default location for plate files only.

drive so that you can open it on an instrument.
IMPORTANT! Perform a virus scan on a USB drive before inserting it into a port on the
computer.
• Select an instrument if you want to send the plate file to the Inbox on the instrument.
Note: If an instrument is not shown, see "Connect the Plate Manager software (desktop) to an
instrument"
Note: To set the default File save location, click
then click Save Location.
2. Click Save.
The plate file (PSM file) is saved in the specified location. If you selected an instrument, the plate
file is also sent to the Inbox and to the plate files library on the instrument.
