13.2 Overview of Device Commands
In Freedom EVOware Plus, when the Process Editor is open the Control Bar only
shows device commands (commands which are used for controlling optional
devices).
Conversely, when the Script Editor is open the Control Bar only shows script
commands (commands which are used for writing pipetting scripts). See
11.5.5 “Creating a Script for the Pipette Command”, 11-12).
In Freedom EVOware Standard, both command types are shown in the Control
Bar (it does not have a Process Editor).
Tecan and third party software add-ons for Freedom EVOware may add additional
script and/or device commands to the Control Bar which are not described in this
manual. In this case, refer to the instruction manual for the respective software
add-on for more information.
Note: Device commands are handled by device drivers.The currently installed
devices are shown in the Control Bar. If you cannot find the device command you
need even though it is listed in this chapter, you must run the Freedom EVOware
installation program again to install it. Also check whether the driver has been
installed but is currently deactivated (see 8.4.1.1 “Device Information Tab”, 8-
21, Start checkbox).
13.2.1 Commands for the Barcode Scanner, Overview
The following table lists the command for the Symbol LS-1220 barcode scanner.
In Freedom EVOware Plus, the Barcode Scanner command is an on-the-flycommand
– drag the command to the line which connects two process steps (see
5.4.3 “The Process Editor (Freedom EVOware Plus)”, 5-17).
In Freedom EVOware Standard, proceed as follows to use the Symbol LS-1220
barcode scanner:
• Make sure that the labware type has been “allowed” for scanning with the
barcode scanner (see 9.5 “Configuring Carriers”, 9-39, “Allowed Labware
on this carrier”).
• Drag labware of the type you want to scan from the Control Bar (Labware
section) onto the device icon of the barcode scanner.
• Use the Transfer Labware command to move the labware to the barcode
scanner (the barcode scanner carrier attribute “on-the-fly” instructs Freedom
EVOware not to release the labware at this position); see 15.59 “Transfer
Labware Command”, 15-143;
• Add the Barcode Scanner - ReadBarcode command to your script;
• Use the Transfer Labware command to move the labware from the barcode
scanner to the required destination position.
