In order to assign a certain sample rack for different applications, cer-

tain properties or recognition data can be defined for up to 16 racks.

This is useful when a certain beaker size or the size of the sample se-

ries or a certain course of processing is to be predefined in an applica-

tion.

4.5.3

Rack data

The following recognition data can be defined for each rack:

Rack number

unique identification

Code

automatic rack recognition

Type

rack type / position table

Work position

working height of the needle

Rinse position

rinsing height of the needle

Shift position

turning height of the needle

Special position

additional height of the needle

Special beaker position reserved beaker positions

The Rack number serves to identify a rack. It can be chosen from 1 to

16. In a method a particular rack number can be assigned to the proc-

ess sequences (see section 4.3.2). This ensures that if the wrong sam-

ple rack is used, the automatic rack recognition will realize this and is-

sue a warning to the user.

The Code is used for automatic rack recognition. Make sure that this 6-

place binary code in the rack configuration agrees with the actual in-

serted magnet code on the rack. Rack codes can be changed at any

time. They must however, only be assigned to one rack. The assign-

ment of standard predefined codes of standard racks provided by

Metrohm should be avoided.
