!! DAMAGE HAZARD !!
Before you begin changing teachpoints,
make a backup copy of the teachpoint file. If the original teachpoint
file becomes lost or damaged, you can use the backup copy instead
of resetting all the teachpoints and creating a new file.
The teachpoint file is referenced by a profile. For information about
profiles, see “Creating and managing profiles” on page 60.
Before you start
Make sure:
❑
The correct profile is initialized (“Creating and managing profiles”
on page 60).
❑
The labware you want to use is defined ( BenchWorks Automation
Control User Guide ).
Setting new
teachpoints
!! INJURY HAZARD !! During this procedure, make sure no one
else can issue commands at the controlling computer while you are
manually determining the teachpoint coordinates.
When you set a teachpoint, you need to:
1. Determine the coordinates of the pickup and placement location.
2. Record the coordinates in the teachpoint file and verify the
teachpoint file selection in the device file.
To determine the coordinates of the location:
1. Load two to three spare microplates in a stacker rack, and then
install the rack on BenchCel Workstation. For instructions, see
“Loading and unloading labware” on page 84 and “Installing and
removing stacker racks” on page 85.
2. In the BenchWorks window, click the Device Manager tab.
