A counter has been added to the main screen which displays the total number of Tip
Loads. This can be used to determine if it is time to lubricate the “O” rings.
The counter is displayed in the status bar at the bottom of the main screen as shown:
The counter can be reset by using the System → Reset Tip Load Count function. This
should be reset when the “O” rungs are replaced or lubricated.
1.2.6 PSID2 Mirror Rack Checking
If Black and White Mirror Racks are being used in a protocol which have already been
processed with the Tomtec PSID2 device, the Quadra 4 can be setup to validate the
handling of these racks to ensure that they are being processed correctly.
The Quadra 4 software can validate that:
1. The Mirror Racks and the Destination Plate have been placed onto the Quadra in
the correct orientation.
2. The Black Mirror Rack, the White Mirror Rack, and the Destination Plate
barcodes all match the values specified within the PSID2 software.
In order to use this validation, a barcode reader must be installed on the Quadra 4 on
the RIGHT side of the pump.
Transferring the PSID2 Files
To begin, the Completed Main Operating File(s) need to be copied to the Quadra 4.
The files are saved on the computer running the PSID 2 Software in the directory:
C:\tomtec.psid2\psid2\archive\
Only the COMPLETED CSV files should be copied. These files have the naming
convention of:
<DestinationPlateBarcode>_MOF_<BlackRackBarcode>_<WhiteRackBarcode>_<Date/Time>.csv
These files should be copied to the directory on the Quadra 4,
C:\Program Files\Tomtec\Quadra 4 Command System v4\PSID2\
Quadra 4 Setup
Before running the protocols on the Quadra, the Mirror Rack Checking needs to be
enabled.
