If you encounter any problems during or after taking a measurement, kindly share the measurement results with us:

After executing a SparkControl™ method, the measurement result sheet will open in Excel if you have kept the default settings. Please save the Excel file and send it to our team for further analysis.


2.  You encounter an error message while using the SparkControl or SparkControl Magellan software:

Please click on the "ZIP & Save" button and send Tecan® the zipped folder containing the log files. This will allow our technical team to analyze the error and provide you with a solution.

All log files are centrally stored, please navigate to the following path on your local hard drive - C:\Users\Public\Documents\Tecan\LogFiles

 

Once you have located the log files, please save the entire folder in a zip format and proceed with step number 4.
