MD132- Operation cannot start unless the correct lamp is fitted

When operating the iCE 3300, 3400, 3500 products, when starting a run, if this error appears: "MD132- Operation cannot start unless the correct lamp is fitted", no lamp in the menu matches the selected analyte.  When this happens, ensure the correct method is loaded. Verify that the coded HCL is reading correctly or that the uncoded lamp is manually labeled in the correct carousel position. Run Setup Optics, then proceed with your run.
