Stack Storage Setup
This section is only for systems using a Twister II robot with the
CLARA software. The XP robot does not use the Stack Storage
software. If you are using iLink, see the
iLink User’s Manual
. If you
are using iLink PRO and the iLink PRO Storage software, see
The Stack Storage software must be used to create a storage
configuration before the materials are processed in the automation
control software. To create the storage configuration, the Stack
Storage software collects material data from the specified CLARA
application, and uses that data to compile a configuration.
This section provides instructions for creating the storage
configurations.
Setting up a Storage Configuration
The Stack Storage software is used in CLARA systems to set up the
initial locations of the materials in the Twister II racks. The storage
configuration is based on the CLARA application, and you only
have to create the storage configuration file the first time you run
the CLARA chain. Before setting up the storage configuration, you
must have already created the desired CLARA method and then
scheduled or sequenced the method as desired. (See the
CLARA
User’s Manual
for details on using the CLARA software.)
To set up a storage configuration:
1
Create and schedule or sequence the desired method(s) in the
CLARA Editor software.
2
Verify the CLARA applications you want to set up are loaded
(chained, for CLARA 2.2 or greater) and open in the Execution
Manager software.
3
Initialize the application in the CLARA Execution Manager
software. All of the instrument software for the application or
chain are started in Remote mode by CLARA.
4
Click the Stack Storage software button on the Windows task
bar. The Stack Storage main window opens. If an application
has been created in CLARA, the
Configuration
option is
.
