16.23 Commands for the REMP ACD96
The REMP ACD96 Automated Capper Decapper is used to fit or remove sealing
caps from REMP tubes in REMP STBR96 tube racks. Each tube rack holds 96
REMP tubes. Refer to the REMP user manual for information on the rack
adapters which must be used for different REMP tube rack versions.
The REMP ADI software, which must be installed separately, communicates with
the ACD96 through an RS232 port. The Freedom EVOware driver for the ACD96
communicates with the ADI software using ActiveX.
To allow Freedom EVOware to control the ACD96 device, the ADI software must
be running. In addition, the ACD96 must be switched to remote mode using the
function keys and menus on the device. Refer to the REMP User Manual for more
information.
To start the ADI software, choose Start > All Programs > Remp > Remp ADI
Stand-Alone.
The Freedom EVOware installation program installs Freedom EVOware drivers
and a device carrier for the ACD96. The REMP ADI software installation CD is
packaged with the device. The recommended program installation directory for
the ADI software is C:\Program Files\Tecan\Remp
REMP ADI Software
A single installation of the ADI software can be used to control several different
REMP devices such as the ACD96 Automated Capper Decapper and the PHS
Portrait Heat Sealer. After installing the ADI software, you must install driver(s) for
the REMP devices you want to use.
To do this, start the ADI software and choose Install New Device in the File menu.
Select the required device from the list, and click Next. Then specify the device
name “REMP ACD” (specify the device name exactly like this). Then click Next
and click Finished in the following dialog box.
Then configure the RS232 port to which the ACD96 is connected. To do this,
connect the ACD96 to the PC and switch it on, switch it to remote mode using the
function keys and menus on the device and choose Settings in the Device menu
of the ADI software. Refer to the REMP documentation for more information.
The Available Device pull-down list shows all of the device drivers which have
been installed in the ADI software.
