Perform a System Check
The System Check screen provides troubleshooting options for checking the operational status of instrument components. This feature is typically used by an Illumina Technical Support representative during a Live Help session. Use of this feature is not required during normal operation or for instrument maintenance.
Some system checks can be performed before contacting Illumina Technical Support, such as the Volume Test. A volume test checks the health of the fluidics system by estimating the flow volume as bubbles pass by the sensors. For more information, refer to Perform a Volume Test.
The Tip/Tilt and Full Optics tests require a special flow cell and should only be performed by an Illumina technician.
