When it comes to your capillary sequencers, we always assume “Green is for go” signaling that everything is up and running smoothly. You may be looking for the “green light” on your sequencer to ensure you’ve passed the initialization sequence, but it’s just not happening, even after rebooting. Let’s go through just exactly what you should see.
First and foremost, when checking sequencer functionality, be certain the computer and sequencer are plugged in. Sounds like it doesn’t need to be said, but we’ve seen this issue before. Also, if the machine has been in “idle” mode for a long period of time, it may have tripped the safety breaker and turned the machine off. These are two items to check for immediately.
