Teachpoint setting workflow

About this topic

This topic presents the workflow for setting BenchBot Robot teachpoints.

Workflow

The following table presents the steps for setting BenchBot Robot teachpoints. After setting the teachpoints, you will not likely change them unless you add, replace, move, or remove a device in the system.

IMPORTANT Before proceeding to step 10 (verify the teachpoints), or if you use a labware to set teachpoints, you should already have definitions for the labware you want to use. Although you can define labware at any time, Agilent Technologies recommends that you define labware before setting the teachpoints. For instructions on how to define labware, see the VWorks Automation Control Setup Guide.
