Introduction
This document provides instructions for adding equipment to the ports and setting up the programs to run the equipment.
Procedure
It is important to remember that if additional equipment is added to the system, the interface to the Tray Tracking segment must also be added. The equipment will not function without a tracking assignment.
This document is separated into two steps, Custom Configuration for machine interface and Tray Track Assignment for each port within the Optifacts software.
There are two devices that can be used to connect the equipment to the server, Rocketport and Digiboard. The Rocketport uses a physical set of cable to communicate to the server while the Digiboard communicates using TCP/IP. The connector pin outs are different therefore it is important to know which device is being used. Contact Optifacts for the correct pin out for your lab.
