4.12 Automation
The automation commands, with the exception of the subsequence, are
only active when a USB Sample Processor has been configured in the
Device manager (see Section 3.10). A connected USB Sample Proces-
sor is controlled with these commands in the method sequence.
4.12.1 Move (MOVE)
The MOVE command is used to move to a rack position or an external
position.
• Tower: The required tower can be selected here. Both Tower 1 and
Tower 2 are always available for selection, even if your USB Sample
Processor only has one tower. If you accidentally select the non-
existent tower then the corresponding error message will appear af-
ter the start of the method.
• Destination: This is the target position for the MOVE command.
Sample gives the rack position that is defined by the current sample
variable. The sample variable is automatically increased by one af-
ter each method sequence. Under Method options/Start op-
tions you can switch off this automatic increase. With the SAMPLE
command (see Section 4.12.5) the sample variable can also be se-
lectively altered.
If the USB Sample Processor is equipped with a Swing Head then
four external positions can be moved to.
Special beakers
must be defined in the rack table under Edit de-
vice/Rack tables .
When selecting Rack position each absolute position of a rack
can be moved to directly.
With Current sample +/- a particular rack position relative to the
current sample as defined by the sample variable can be moved to.
With Next/Previous position the next or previous rack position
will be moved to starting from the current rack position.
Calibration pos.
is used when automatic calibration is to be car-
ried out with a USB Sample Processor (see Section 4.7).
