Once you have downloaded a template, select File > Open Workspace or Template and open it. Gate positions, zoom level, thresholds, compensation, run and fluidics settings are all fully adjustable and may require optimization for different sample types. Once the settings are optimized for your experiment, click Run to begin data acquisition.
Note: The linked templates on this page are provided for the convenience of our research customers. Although they have not been validated, they have been used by BD or our customers to generate the sample data in the product information sheets. The templates have been designed using the current BD Accuri™ C6 Software, version 264.21. They are not compatible with version 172.9, 227.4, or 202.8 software. Further optimization may be required before use, and it is the end user's responsibility to ensure that use of the template is appropriate to their research.
