Biomek Software
The Biomek Software is designed to:
•
Do a substantial amount of the method-building work for you.
•
Allow you to take as much direct and precise control over the method-
building process as you want.
Note:
A method is a series of steps controlling the operations of your Biomek 3000.
The main editor that appears when the software is launched (Figure 1-2) is used to
build and configure methods:
•
Each step is dragged and dropped from a Step
Palette into the Method View (refer to Chapter
2,
Learning to Create Methods for the Biomek®
•
When a step in the Method View is highlighted,
the corresponding configuration options appear
in the Step Configuration Area (refer to Chapter
2,
Learning to Create Methods for the Biomek®
•
The method is customized to the desired level of
precise control via the editors accessed from the
Project
and
Instrument
Using the Editors While Creating

to
add other step palettes.
