USING INBUILT INFRARED DEVICES:
While some infrared ports (laptops mainly) are compatible with the OdaLog, due to the
variation in manufacturers, drivers and communication protocols, users often experience
issues connecting and/or downloading reliably. For this reason, Thermo Fisher Scientific
strongly recommends that users only attempt to connect to the OdaLog via the IR device
supplied with the purchase of the OdaLog instrument. Only advanced users should
attempt to use inbuilt IR ports. If difficulties arise, ensure the inbuilt IR adapter is
disabled, and revert to using the provided adapter.
