Scan Modules
The Scan modules allow you to specify such parameters as lasers, channels, and
instrument settings.
Detectors
The Detectors module allows you to select which lasers and detectors you wish to
use, establish settings for these, and create virtual channels.
When you add a detector module, or click on an existing one, a dialog box appears
on the right portion of the window. There are three tabs on the Detectors window:
Channel, Virtual Channel, and Scatter.
❍ Channel Tab—When the Channel tab is selected, the following menu
appears.
❍ Laser Power—In this field you can enter the (488 nm) laser power you wish
to use. For additional information on setting laser power, see “Adjusting Laser
Power, PMT Gains, and PMT Offsets” on page 3-82.
Note: When you change a protocol value, the background of the text box
changes to red. Press enter or select a different text box to accept the
change. If the value entered is invalid, an exclamation point (!) appears
next to it. Pointing to the exclamation point will display the error
message.
❍ Color—Clicking the Color button opens the following menu.
