Starting the BD Infinicyt™ Software for the first time        

If User Access Control is installed, this operation must be performed by the BD Infinicyt™ Software administrator. The administrator will add other users.

• Before starting the BD Infinicyt™ Software for the first time, start the BD Access Portal application, which will prompt you to enter your email address and password. The BD Access Portal login credentials validate your BD Infinicyt™ Software license and are not to be confused with the credentials managed under User Access Control.

Note: This step is only necessary when running the BD Infinicyt™ Software for the first time. On subsequent startups, the software automatically displays a BD Access Portal pop-up window for you to enter your portal credentials.

• Double-click the Infinicyt icon installed on your computer desktop.

• If User Access Control is not installed, the BD Infinicyt™ Software will start and display its main window:

Importing databases                                             

• Download the databases from the BD Access Portal according to your needs.

• Open the BD Infinicyt™ Software and click Databases.

• Right-click any empty space in the large white panel and select Import Database.

• The Select window will be displayed. Go to the folder where the databases have been downloaded, select all the listed files (click the first file, press the Shift key, then click the last file), and click Select.

Note: Because the database files are large, it may take a few minutes for the import operation to complete.

Warning:

By default, Windows limits pathnames to a maximum of 260 characters including the null terminator. In systems with this limitation, errors will occur if downloading DCF files to paths that exceed this number of characters.

Warning:

When downloading the databases make sure that they maintain their original names. If you download a database more than once, one of the databases must be moved or removed and any number in parentheses that Windows might have added to the filename must be removed.

• This completes the database import operation.  All imported databases will be displayed within the software:

Note: Because no files are selected for analysis, the OK button for the Databases window will remain disabled.

• Click Cancel to close the Databases window.

Note: Ensure that your database versions are up-to-date prior to starting the analysis process.
