6 Configuration of the iCAP system.

6.1 Explanation

Qtegra is supplied with the "iCAP 7000 Manual" configuration preloaded.
To use an autosampler use the Configurator software to create configurations with the appropriate
autosamplers.
To enable iTEVA on the customers PC for optical alignment, it is very important you create an
EMPTY configuration. Being empty means that the Services running in the background will not be
trying to communicate with the iCAP. Failure to load an empty configuration results in
communication problems with iTEVA.
ALWAYS drag the iCAP first to the configurator; (Apart from empty configuration) failure to have
the iCAP first may cause the configuration created not to work and application error to occur.
NEVER put two or more autosamplers in a configuration, this causes a major crash in Qtegra
when that configuration is selected. It is then not possible to reconfigure Qtegra and it must be
uninstalled and reinstalled.
For a configuration with an autosampler make sure the autosampler is powered up and
communicating with Qtegra before lighting the plasma.
Set up the Configurator for each accessory that is available for use with the iCAP as the customer
may at a future date change the accessory being used.
Note: At this time it is imperative to use common Configuration naming
schemes in order for the supplied Test Methods / Templates to be imported and
used without valid configuration issues

6.2 Setting Configuration

To build configurations for instrument operation:
Within Configurator.exe
In Experiment configurator press New.
