and 10 and “Stack2” to sites 14 and 15 (see Tab. 8-9 “Te-MO 3x5 site
numbers”, 8-104). Choose descriptive labels with no space characters. See
also EVOware location in 8.5.28.4 “Te-Stack and Te-Stack Te-MO
Configuration - Locations Tab”, 8-102.
A group is also needed for the Te-MO if you are using Active Positioning
Carriers (APCs) but you have not fitted them to all sites. Assign the group
label “APC” to the APC sites and put the labware onto one of the APC sites. if
Freedom EVOware decides to use another Te-MO site or slide for pipetting, it
will only use the APC sites.
The location groups you have created will be shown in dialog boxes which
allow you to choose locations. The group name you have chosen is shown
appended to the end of the carrier name, e.g. Te-MO_3x5_Stack1.
You can also use a label in the Groups column to identify a single site.
For example, you can assign a group label (e.g. “DITI-Waste”) to the waste
site of a DITI carrier if you want Freedom EVOware Plus to use it for
discarding racks with used DITIs. You must then specify this site for
MoveLocation2 in the respective RoMa_ReplaceObject command (see
9.10.3.1 “Editing Custom Pre-actions and Post-actions”, 9-74, “Usage
Example”). If you don’t specify a specific waste site, Freedom EVOware Plus
will return DITI racks with used DITIs to their base (labware source) location,
e.g. the carousel.
If you want to use group labels, you must assign labels to all sites of the
carrier, not just one site. See e.g. Tab. 8-11 “Te-MO 3x5 group labels”, 8-
104. For more examples, refer to Group labels for carrier sites in the index.
The Groups function is not relevant for Freedom EVOware Standard.
Allowed Labware on this carrier
For each of the labware types which can be used with this labware carrier or
device carrier, check the checkboxes alongside the allowed sites.
9.5.1 Carrier Dimensions and X/Y Offsets
The figure below shows how to define the various dimensions for a carrier. The
example is for the standard Tecan carrier Microplate, 3 Pos., landscape. The
carrier type which is shown has a nose which extends beyond the rear edge. The
positioning pins (shown in grey) are clipped to the worktable and are partially
hidden from view by the carrier.
