Set Process Variable Values dialog box
Entered the required initial value for the variables in the Initial value column.
In the above example, the variables were declared as shown in Fig. 6-6, 6-13
and the number of process instances (process copies) was set to three in the
Runtime Controller when the process was run.
The scope of the Barcode variable is instance and a different value can be
entered for each of the three process instances. The scope of the Microplates
variable is run; the value you specify will be used for all three process instances.
This is indicated by the value 0 in the Instance column.
6.4.6.3 Import File for the Declare Variables Feature
If you choose File Import in the Mode column of the Set Process Variables dialog
box, you must create a comma-separated text file which contains the required
values of the variables. The file name must be _var.csv, for
example myproc1_var.csv.
The file must be stored in the sub-directory which contains the process (the .epd
file), for example:
C:\Program Files\Tecan\EVOware\database\processes\myproc1
Each line of the file should have the following syntax:
variable name,process instance,value
In the following example, the variables were declared as shown in Fig. 6-6, 6-13
and the number of process instances (process copies) will be set to three in the
Runtime Controller when the process is run:
Tubes,1,5
Tubes,2,7
Tubes,3,4
Counter2,0,25
The scope of the Tubes variable is instance and a different value can be specified
for each of the process instances. The scope of the Counter variable is run; the
value you specify will be used for all three process instances. This is indicated by
the value 0 in the Instance field.
For variables of scope instance, make sure that you specify enough lines for all of
the process instances that you will run. If there are not enough entries in the file,
Freedom EVOware will use the initial value that you specified in the Set Process
Variables dialog box for the missing entries.
