Switch to the ON position to power on the
device.
z
Switch to the OFF position to power off the

Control software
The system control software initiates the communication protocol
through physical ports to coordinate with the hardware, control
gas lines, fluidics lines, temperature, mechanical components,
and optical components. The software detects the signal on the
sequencing flow cell, transfers the photographic information to the
base sequence files in standard format, and guides different users to
perform different processes, such as maintenance and experimental
protocols.
The following table describes the function of each functional
module:
Item Description
Self-test
Checks whether the components of the system are
functional.
Sequence Performs different types of sequencing processes.
Wash
Performs wash and maintenance for fluidics lines of
the system.
z
Because the flow cell stages have the same functions, flow cell stage A is
used as an example in the subsequent sections.
z
For interface control, you can use the touch screen monitor or keyboard
and mouse.
Self-test interface
After you power on the device, self-test starts. If the self-test
succeeds, the main interface appears.
If the self-test fails, perform the following steps:
1. In the main interface, tap , and select Log to check the detailed
self-test results that are recorded in the log.
