– Installation procedure for M101 or M204 modules into Multi Autolab Cabinet
The Multi Autolab Cabinet is fitted with a USB hub on the back panel of the instrument
which can be used to share the control of the modules installed in the instrument between
a maximum of three computers (see Figure 9).
Figure 9 – The USB hub located on the back plane of the Multi Autolab Cabinet
Depending on the connection to the USB hub, the host computer can control the following
module bays:
•
main USB: all the module bays in the Multi Autolab cabinet are controlled.
•
sub-1 USB: module bays 3, C, 4 and D are controlled.
•
sub-2 USB: module bays 5, E, 6 and F are controlled.
When M101 or M204 modules are installed into a Multi Autolab Cabinet, the following
guidelines should be followed:
1.
Install M101 or M204 modules in the Parent positions first and only use the
Daughter positions if the number of M101 or M204 modules is > 6 (see point 3).
2.
Alternate the positions of the M101 or M204 modules in the Multi Autolab Cabinet
in order to optimize the use of the USB hub located in the back plane of the
instrument (see Figure 10 and Figure 11).
