3.3.1 Coding X-axis for tube distance in row
Measure the distance between the tube centres of the desired rack and choose the number
of fractions in a row.
Figure 3.3-1
Place the coding bands on the
tube rack and mark the fractioning position with
a normal pencil.
Figure 3.3-2
Draw the white lines correctly on
the pre-marked places. Reserve approximately
2cm of the coding band for the beginning and
end-position signals.
Figure 3.3-3
Mark the beginning and end
signals on the lower and upper edge of the
coding band respectively.
Leave a minimum of about 6mm free space
between the first and last line of the row and the
beginning and end signals.
Figure 3.3-4 Place the coding band in the X-axis
holder and insert into the desired slot of the
control unit, with white stripes facing up.
The beginning and end signals at the lower or upper edge of the coding
band informs the microprocessor whether the arm of the control unit is on
right or left.
