3.7 Creating a New Deck
A deck in the Biomek Software refers to the software representation of the physical
Biomek 3000 instrument deck. The
Deck Editor
is used to define and change deck
configurations. A deck stores framing information and device associations for each
position on the deck. Decks can be used for multiple methods and are stored in the
Deck Editor .
Assume you have added a second tool rack to your deck and now must create another
deck in the Deck Editor that reflects that addition to the physical deck.
Note: Refer to the Biomek Software User’s Manual, Chapter 5, Preparing and
Managing the Deck , for detailed information on using the Deck Editor .
To create a new deck in the Deck Editor :
1. Choose Instrument>Deck Editor . Deck Editor appears (Figure 3-15).

Framing teaches Biomek
Software the location of
the devices positioned on
the deck. Biomek
Software uses this
framing information to
move the pod to the
appropriate position
when performing liquid-
handling operations and
manipulating labware.
A Beckman Coulter
Service Engineer frames
the Biomek 3000
instrument during system
installation. It may be
necessary to repeat the
framing if devices are
added, moved, or
removed from the deck.
