6.2.4 Adjustment Macro Programs
Ensure all Adjustment macro programs are stored on the same path, i.e.
C:\ program files \ HAMILTON \ ML STAR \ services \ macros \.
There are two types of Adjustment Macro Programs:
Measurement and Calibration Macros.
• Measurement Macro Programs do not change any Calibration values. The
Software Program provides values which may not exceed the given tolerance.
• Calibration Macro Programs define new calibration values - current values are
first deleted by the execute program.
Note: Adjustment Macro Programs must finish completely without errors to confirm
that the Instrument is adjusted (Adjustment state 1), initialized and ready to operate.
General notes:
In case of a program interruption (if the program cannot be completed successfully)
e.g. due to power failure or user interaction, switch the instrument off and then on
again, to reset the macro program action automatically. This action is necessary to
avoid the complete loss of calibration values.
If it is not then possible to start or complete any program, ensure that the CO-RE
O-Rings do not remain squeezed, as this may reduce their life-time significantly.
Attention: Ensure all Macro Programs once started are correctly completed. Only
this will leave the Microlab STAR Instrument within a defined status.
Note: All files from the Adjustment Disk / CD must be installed. The following files
are necessary, however must not be started independently (e.g. by the Service
Technician):
• ABORT.MCR
• NIX.MCR
• START.MCR
Attention: Pipetting Channels (complete with Pipetting Heads) must be mounted and
adjusted properly before running any Adjustment Macro Program.
