Installing a fixed device
Fixed devices are devices which are always displayed in EVOSim at the same
worktable position. The position is not dependent on the worktable layout in
Freedom EVOware.
1 Export the drawing from your CAD program in VRML format.
2 Copy the VMRL file to the \layout\vrml sub-directory of your EVOSim
installation (e.g. ..\EVOware\simulation\layout\vrml). The file extension must
be wrl.
3 Edit the file ExternalDevices.tab in the \layout sub-directory of your EVOSim
installation to add a new section for the new device with the following syntax:
Design {
Header {
Name
}
VRML {
Name
}
}
; Devices
; PW384
File
; PowerWasher384.wrl
Scale ; 0.5
Position ; 8000,-5000,3000
Rotation ; 0,0,2700
VRMLOrigin ; Corner
whereby Scale is a scaling factor for the size of the object in EVOSim, Position is
an offset for the x, y and z axis (in 0.1 mm) and Rotation specifies a rotation of the
x, y and z axis (in 0.1° steps). You should normally only specify rotation for the z
axis. On each line, everything following “//” is an optional comment.
4 Restart EVOSim.
Note: Your changes will be lost if you update or re-install EVOSim - keep a
backup of your work. Be aware that the structure and syntax of the .tab and .ini
files may change in future EVOSim versions.
A.15 Advanced Worklist Commands
This section describes the advanced worklist commands. Advanced worklist
commands are specified in Freedom EVOware worklists, normally in combination
with the standard worklist commands. See 15.24.2 “Worklist File Format”, 15-
39.
Compared to standard worklist commands, which allow six basic pipetting
operations to be carried out on samples, the advanced worklist commands give
you full control of pipetting actions, including control over arm movements.
In some cases, the name of the advanced worklist command differs from the
corresponding script command. This is indicated in the text alongside the
command.
For an alphabetical list of advanced worklist commands refer to Advanced worklist
commands in the index. In some cases, the names of the commands differ from
the command names in advanced worklists for the Tecan Gemini software. This
