Using Freedom EVOware with the Tecan Magellan Software
Furthermore, methods and workspace files which were created with Magellan
Standard cannot be used in Magellan Tracker, and will not be shown in the Select
a file dialog box. This is because Magellan Tracker methods and workspace files
contain additional tracking information which is needed for regulated
environments.
Note: The sample methods and workspace files which are provided with Magellan
Tracker were created using Magellan Standard and are not shown in the Select a
file dialog box of Magellan Tracker. Magellan includes a conversion tool which lets
you convert Magellan Standard files to Magellan Tracker files.
In Freedom EVOware too, the Method Selection dialog box of the Magellan
Measure device command only shows methods which are compatible with the
currently configured reader type and Magellan version (Standard or Tracker). See
17.9.3.3 “Specifying the Reader Type in Freedom EVOware”, 17-31.
17.9.3 Configuring Freedom EVOware for the Magellan software
Start Freedom EVOware’s Configuration Tool, click the Devices tab, click Device
Information and look for the Magellan device driver in the list.
If the Magellan driver is missing, then it is not installed. Refer to the Installation
chapter in the Freedom EVOware manual for information on installing software
components which are missing.
Select the Magellan driver and check that the version is correct (see
17.9.1 “Compatibility”, 17-29).
Check the Start checkbox for the Magellan driver to make sure that it will be
loaded when Freedom EVOware starts.
Note: If you change configuration settings in Freedom EVOware’s Configuration
Tool, in most cases Freedom EVOware must be restarted for the changes to take
effect.
17.9.3.1 Magellan Output File (Workspace File)
In Freedom EVOware’s Configuration Tool, select the Magellan driver, click
Settings and choose the Settings tab in the Configure Device Driver Properties
dialog box.
In the Output File Default field, specify the required default filename and path for
the calculated results (workspace file) from the Magellan software. The default
filename and path which you specify here will then be shown in the dialog box of
the Magellan Measure command (see Fig. 17-23, 17-36).

Standard
Path: Specify the path which is configured in Magellan for workspace files. This
makes it easier to load the generated workspace files if you run Magellan on its
own later on.
Filename: If you are using a barcode scanner, you should specify the placeholder
, which will instruct Freedom EVOware and thus Magellan to generate the
filename from the labware barcode. It is not necessary to specify the file extension
(which is .wsp). Note: The labware must be scanned in advance of the Magellan
Measure command.
Examples:
c:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Tecan\Magellan\
or
c:\Program Files\Tecan\EVOware\Output\
