Creating a New Deck
A deck in the Biomek Software refers to the software representation of the physical
Biomek FX deck. The
Deck
Editor
is used to define and change deck configurations,
and stores deck information used for multiple methods. A deck also stores framing
information and device associations for each position on the deck.
Assume you have added another Span-8 Wash ALP 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 6,
Preparing and
Managing the Deck
, for detailed information on using the
Deck
Editor
.

Locations capable of supporting that ALP are indicted in the Deck View by
dashed boxes.
Framing is the procedure
of teaching the Biomek
Software the location of
the ALPs and devices
positioned on the deck.
Biomek Software uses
this framing information
to move the pod(s) to the
appropriate positions to
perform liquid-handling
operations and
manipulate labware.
A Beckman Coulter
Service Engineer frames
the Biomek FX
instrument during system
installation. It may be
necessary to repeat the
framing if ALPs or
devices are added,
moved, or removed from
the deck; the head on the
Multichannel Pod is
changed; or the probes on
the Span-8 Pod are
changed. Refer to the
Biomek® FX and FX-P
Laboratory Automation
Workstations User’s
Manual,
Chapter 5,

FX
