Task parameters
The Rotate Stage (Agilent Microplate Labeler) task does not have task parameters.
Device selection
You must select a device for Rotate Stage (Agilent Microplate Labeler) tasks. If you have multiple devices of the same type, you can:
• Prioritize the list of devices for the task. If the first device in the list is busy, the software will automatically use the next device in the list. If all of the devices in the list are busy, the task that needs the device will wait until one becomes available.
• Set up a backup pool. If the primary device encounters an error, the software will automatically use the next device in the list. However, if all of the devices in the list are in an error state, the software will automatically use the device in the backup pool.
The multiple devices must have the same setup and configuration.After adding the Rotate Stage (Agilent Microplate Labeler) task at the desired point in the protocol, select the task, and then click Device Selection in the Task Parameters area.
To select a device for the task:
1 Double-click a device in the Devices available to perform task area to add it to the Devices involved in task area.
2 To prioritize its use, select the device in the Devices involved in task area, and then click User earlier or Use later. The devices (deck locations) that are higher in the list are favored by the software scheduler during the protocol run.
3 Optional. Select backup devices to use in case all of the devices in the Devices involved in task area encounter an error.
a Select Devices in backup pool.
b Drag one or more devices from the Devices available to perform task area to the Devices in backup pool area.
c If you have multiple devices in the backup pool, select a device in the Devices in backup pool area, and then click Use earlier or Use later to prioritize it.
