| Q. | Software displays "No devices found" even when instrument is plugged into the computer |
| A. | A couple of steps can be taken to attempt to resolve this issue: - Try disconnecting and then reconnecting the USB cable connecting the instrument to the computer.
- Try restarting the Device Cloud software by opening the Advanced Configuration Menu, clicking "Quit" and then re-opening the software.
- Open up the computer's "Control Panel" and select "View devices and printers". You should see the AAT Bioquest instrument under "Unspecified" devices as its device name. If it is listed as an unidentified device, right-click the device and select "Troubleshoot".
- If the AAT Bioquest instrument does not display its product name (ie. CytoCite Fluorometer), this means the device was not installed properly on the computer or that it is missing required drivers. Make sure that you click "yes" to install required dependencies when the Device Cloud software first runs.
- If the device does not show up in the "Device and Printers" window, this means that there is a hardware connection problem. This could be due to a faulty USB cable or faulty USB port. For further assistance, please contact devices@aatbio.com.

"Offline mode" can be access by selecting "Offline mode" from the Advanced Login Options Menu located on the Sign In Panel. If you are already logged in, you must sign out first to reach the Sign In Panel.
