LHC -LHC Software Error Codes

Generally, these errors are caused by protocol parameters that conflict with the instrument's onboard settings. The protocol may have been originally created for a different hardware configuration, the 192-tube wash manifold instead of the 96-tube, for example.

Quick Fix: Make sure your Instrument Settings accurately reflect your instrument’s hardware configuration and then, modify the protocol to fix any invalid parameters. With the instrument connected to your computer and its home/main menu displayed:

  1. Click the LHC's Settings link in the main view.
  2. In the Target Instrument Settings dialog, click the instrument link to get the settings from the instrument.
  3. Modify the protocol step that generated the error message.
