Note :  

-Using the Greiner Vacuette tubes end sarstedt tubes it is 

suggested to set the parameter 

START_POINT_M2 

as follows

START_POINT_M2=120 

-

 END_POINT_M1

 

end 

END_POINT_M2

 must be equals.

 

 

Procedure 2 

Log file activation. 

It’s very important to activate the Log.txt file . 

In the Vescube.INI file check and eventually change the following parameter. 

 

LOG_ENABLED=1
