To load the materials into the Twister II racks:
•
Place the materials in the racks in the correct locations. (Refer
to
“Appendix B: Twister II Specifications” on page 171
for
materials supported.) In CLARA the materials may be grouped
by name or by type. In iLink PRO, the materials must be in the
order they are accessed from the racks in the iLink PRO
method.
•
Make sure the Output racks are empty.
•
Verify well A1 is correctly located for
all materials
.
•
Make sure the number of materials in the racks equals the
number of runs to be executed by CLARA. (The number of runs
to be executed may differ from the number of runs scheduled.)
Any discrepancy in the material count will result in a CLARA
error. See the CLARA User’s Manual for details on running
CLARA applications.
