A - Appendix A<br />

System Tools for <strong>Freedom</strong> <strong>EVOware</strong><br />

The script or process runs in offline mode and <strong>Freedom</strong> <strong>EVOware</strong> reports<br />

errors but errors are not listed in the log window or the log file.<br />

If your script uses a barcode scanner, in offline mode you will be prompted to<br />

enter the barcode manually. <strong>Manual</strong> barcode entry is reported in the log file<br />

and is considered to be an error in this case because the barcode scanner is<br />

missing.<br />

A Get DITIs or Te-MO Get DITIs command causes a DITIs already mounted<br />

error even though you haven’t yet mounted any DITIs in the script.<br />

<strong>Freedom</strong> <strong>EVOware</strong> remembers whether you still have DITIs mounted from a<br />

previous pipetting script, even if the PC has been re-started in the meantime.<br />

The <strong>Freedom</strong> <strong>EVOware</strong> worklist specifies all eight tips but <strong>Freedom</strong><br />

<strong>EVOware</strong> only uses the first tip.<br />

<strong>Freedom</strong> <strong>EVOware</strong> automatically optimizes script execution by grouping<br />

together aspirate and dispense commands etc. where possible. The worklist<br />

should be written as follows if you want to use multiple tips:<br />

A; ... (for tip 1)<br />

D; ... (for tip 1)<br />

W; ... (for tip 1)<br />

A; ... (for tip 2)<br />

D; ... (for tip 2)<br />

W; ... (for tip 2)<br />

etc.<br />

It is possible to write a <strong>Freedom</strong> <strong>EVOware</strong> worklist for four standard tips and<br />

four Ditis?<br />

No, you can only write a worklist for the same tip type. Load several worklists<br />

in your script and execute them using the Worklist - Execute loaded worklists<br />

command. They will be executed in chronological order of loading.<br />

The pipetted volumes are completely wrong (too much or not enough<br />

liquid).<br />

Check the LiHa configuration. The configured dilutor capacity must be<br />

appropriate for the tips which are mounted.<br />

The LiHa moves to the required position but ignores aspirate and dispense<br />

commands.<br />

In the LiHa configuration, check whether Tip is broken is activated (the<br />

checkbox is activated if you click the Deactivate button in the Diluter Error<br />

dialog box). Check the checkbox(es) to enable the pipetting channel(s) again.<br />

The trailing airgap (TAG) is aspirated with the tips still in the liquid.<br />

The trailing airgap is aspirated at the Z-position specified in the liquid class<br />

with Retract tips to. A Z-position relative to the liquid level requires liquid level<br />

detection and can not be used if you are carrying out septum piercing (the<br />

septum interferes with the capacitance-based detection system).<br />
