PosID Command
Destination Position
Select the position of the destination tube rack by clicking on the site in the
Worktable Editor. Grid and Site then show the position you have chosen. The
gray (protected) field Defined Carrier then shows the type of carrier at the
chosen site.
Position in tube rack
Specify the required position of the tube in the destination tube rack. Freedom
EVOware counts tubes from rear to front and then from left to right.
Wipe off movement
If the tubes you use carry adhesive labels, in unusual cases they may stick to
the PnP fingers due to incorrectly applied labels or adhesive residues. In such
cases, you can activate an optional downwards movement of the PnP directly
after releasing the tube. Specify the required downwards movement in mm
(range: 0 to 10 mm).
Speed
Choose Maximum if you want the PnP to move at maximum speed. Choose
Taught in vector dialog if you want the PnP to move at the speed specified in
the PnP vector.
Move back to Home Position
Check this checkbox if you want the PnP to move back to its home (parking)
position after transferring the tube. See 9.7.4 “Defining the Home Position for
a PnP”, 9-69.
15.63 PosID Command
The PosID command is used to read the barcode labels on one or more pieces of
labware using the PosID option. The corresponding carrier or tube rack barcodes
will also be scanned.
The PosID (Positive Identification System) is a movable barcode scanner which
can be used to read the barcode labels on carriers, labware and tubes. Unlike
fixed barcode scanners, it does not need a robot to bring the labware to it. The
PosID is installed at the rear of the pipetting instrument and is provided with a
gripper which pulls the carrier towards the rear for barcode identification and then
slides the carrier back into the pipetting position. The scanning head hinges to
read barcodes which are attached to horizontal or vertical surfaces. Barcodes can
be read on both the primary side (e.g. sample tube) and the secondary side (e.g.
microplates).
Freedom EVOware stores each scanned barcode in the internal database in the
ID field of the labware record. The barcode information can also be included in
report files (see 15.26 “Export Data Command”, 15-48).
The Scan tab lets you choose the labware you want to scan and the Barcode
types tab is used to configure the barcode types which the PosID scanner will
accept for the chosen labware:
