About this topic
This topic presents the workflow for setting up the BenchCel Workstation
for operation.
Workflow
The following table presents the steps for setting up the BenchCel
Workstation. After setting up the BenchCel Workstation for the first time,
you will not likely change any of the settings in the procedure unless you
add a device, replace a device, or move the BenchCel Workstation.
!! IMPORTANT !!
Before proceeding to step 6 (setting
teachpoints), you should already have definitions for the labware
you want to use. Although you can define labware at any time
before step 6, Velocity11 recommends that you define labware
before setting up the BenchCel Workstation. For instructions on how
to define labware in the BenchWorks software, see the BenchWorks
Automation Control User Guide.
