Commands for the Process Starter
16.23.1 REMP ACD96 - Cap Command
The Cap command fits caps to 96 REMP tubes in the REMP STBR96 tube rack.
Before fitting the caps, they are held by a mechanism inside the ACD96. Before
using this command, the STBR96 tube rack must be put on the rack adapter of
the ACD96 using the RoMa.
The Cap command can also be used to put caps into the optional REMP cap
holder. The cap holder, which can be put down on the worktable of the pipetting
instrument or in the Tecan carousel, can be used as a temporary storage for caps
which have been removed.
16.23.2 REMP ACD96 - Decap Command
The Decap command removes the caps from 96 REMP tubes in the REMP
STBR96 tube rack. After removing the caps, they are held by a mechanism inside
the ACD96. Before using this command, the STBR96 tube rack must be put on
the rack adapter of the ACD96 using the RoMa.
The Decap command can also be used to pick up caps from the optional REMP
cap holder. The cap holder, which can be put down on the worktable of the

16.24 Commands for the Process Starter
The Process Starter device driver starts a specified process when a set of userdefined
conditions are met. You can specify conditions which are based on
database locations and/or on the values of variables. Alternatively, you can start a
specified process unconditionally.
The Process Starter is only available for Freedom EVOware Plus. It can also start
Freedom EVOware processes on remote computers.
16.24.1 Process Starter - Start Command
The Start command starts a single instance of a specified process when a set of
user-defined conditions are met. You can specify conditions which are based on
database locations (labware attributes) and/or on the values of variables.
Alternatively, you can start a specified process unconditionally.
The Start command can be used as a process step or as a script command in a
Process Script process step. It is only available for Freedom EVOware Plus. It can
also be used to start Freedom EVOware processes on a remote computer.
The Start command is available in five versions (Start and StartP1 to StartP4),
depending on the number of labware items required by the processes you want to
start (0 to 4 labware items). The Start command has no labware parameters and
the StartP1 to StartP4 commands have from one to four labware parameters. If
you assign labware sources to the StartP1 to StartP4 commands in the Process
Editor, you can configure the command to pass the labware parameters to the
processes you want to start. See Plate Mapping panel, below.
You can only use StartP1 to StartP4 as process steps. The Start command can be
used as a process step or in scripts for the Process Script - Script command.
