# Run Set Up Products

Run set up refers to configuring settings for sequencing on Illumina instruments. In addition, users can provide settings for data analysis, location of the output data, and other parameters.

Sequencing runs can be set up using software applications and by downloading and editing sample sheet templates that are uploaded into the sequencer. The Run Planning tool in BaseSpace Sequence Hub and sample sheets are both generic and support run set-up for a broad spectrum of instruments and analysis pipelines. Other software applications support run set-up and analysis only for specific instruments, assays, and analysis pipelines.

Refer to the respective documentation sites via the links below for more information. Access the full list of Illumina software products at the [Illumina Support Center](https://support.illumina.com/).
