Laboratory Automation News
We have been making some interesting functional changes to OVERLORD Scheduler to support one of our major customers, these features are now generally available for all our OVERLORD Scheduler customers:- Can now run multiple Assays (Schedules) that all use the same plate positions
- VBScripts in Pre-Run Tasks
- Can set Access Commands in Robot Moves Window
- Turn off plate tracking if the Assay refuses to Schedule
- Pre-Run Actions will run on all Assays in a Multi-Assay run
- Support for Plate Stacker Types. The PELS PlateStak driver has been updated to make use of this functionality (Details in the document O:\OVERLORD Clients Partners Suppliers\PE Packard\PerkinElmer Evaluation\Add PlateStak Type to Scheduler.doc
- Easier setup of new instrumentation. An XML file (C:\Program Files\Overlord Scheduler\Data\SupportedDevices.xml) listing all the drivers that have been “schedulized” is now used. Instead of having to select the DLL file, the user simply has to select from a list and all the relevant details (i.e. Estimate Time, Type) are filled in automatically.
- Shared resources are now supported. Allows a device to be used as Robot device as well (Use WinPrep as a device to control the JANUS and use WinPrep to control the Gripper). The Shared resource details are entered in the ‘SupportedDevices.xml’ file for the ‘JANUS Gripper’ and filled in automatically when selected.
- Software has gone thru a QC system and most bug fixes have been completed.
