538 Method
Device
Device name
Device name, [ not defined ]
Selection of a device from the device table. Only those devices being able
to execute the command are selectable. Additionally, not defined can be se-
lected. In this case, the device name must be assigned by the user at the
start of the method.
Device type
Device types, [ 814 USB Sample Processor ]
Display or selection of the device type. If a device is selected under Device
name , this parameter is not editable any more. The device type belonging to
the selected device is displayed instead.
If the option
not defined is selected as Device name , all device types being
able to execute the command can be selected independently from the de-
vices in the device table.
Target
Tower
[ 1 ], 2
Selecting the tower of the Sample Processor for moving the robotic arm to
the required position. Both Tower 1 and Tower 2 are always selectable even
if the Sample Processor has got only one tower.
Swing
Selecting the target position for the robotic arm:
[ External position ]
Swinging to one of the 4 external positions available for each tower. They
are defined in the Tower properties of the Sample Processor.
Maximum angle
Swinging outwards to the maximum angle (see Robotic arm properties).
Relative angle
The robotic arm can be swinged relatively to the momentary position by a
certain increment. This can be used for example to remove vial caps auto-
matically.
Number
[ 1 ] ... 4
Number of the external position being swinged to. This parameter is only
visible for Swing = External position .
Swing angle
-180.0 ... [ 10.0 ] ... 180.0 °
Angle about which the robotic arm should be swinged relatively to the cur-
rent position. It is only visible for
Swing = Relative angle .
Parameters
Swing rate
10 ... [ 55 ] °/s
Speed of the robotic arm when swinging to an external position or a certain
angle.
