Setup

To use HPTLC PRO Modules, a setup procedure should be followed:

  1. Put each HPTLC PRO Module in place, and link them together as described in the instruction manual of each module. The recommend order, from left to right, is:

    • HPTLC PRO Module PLATE STORAGE

    • HPTLC PRO Module APPLICATION

    • HPTLC PRO Module DEVELOPMENT

  2. Connect all cables and hoses to the modules (current, USB, air, extraction, etc.)

  3. Connect the whole HPTLC PRO SYSTEM via USB to a PC with a HPTLC PRO Instrument Service

  4. Start visionCATS, with an user being a HPTLC PRO administrator

  5. Open the HPTLC PRO SYSTEM Configuration window

  6. All the newly connected HPTLC PRO Modules should be in the Unused HPTLC PRO SYSTEM row

  7. Drag each HPTLC PRO Module’s icon on the Default HPTLC PRO SYSTEM row (or any other HPTLC PRO SYSTEM already created in visionCATS). Take care to place them in the same order than the physical modules.

    Important

    HPTLC PRO Module can only be dragged over offline HPTLC PRO SYSTEM (marked with a gray background).

    Note

    The HPTLC PRO Module PLATE STORAGE must always be placed at the first place on the left of the HPTLC PRO SYSTEM.
