Create A New Robot Project - Caliper Life Sciences Twister II User Manual

Create a New Robot Project

The name of the robot in the automation control software must
match the name of the Robot project, which is the same as the
name of the robot INI file.
The Robot software displays an untitled project file when the
software opens. To create a new project, which is used by the
automation control software to control the robot:

NOTE
If you create a new project, and want to use that project during
operation with Caliper automation control software, the name
of the robot resource in the Caliper automation control
software must be the same as the INI file name. An .ini file name
mismatch with the resource name will prevent communication
between the Caliper automation control software and the robot.
When the project is saved, the Robot software stores the robot data
in all appropriate files of the same name. For example, changes to
the TwisterII project are saved in TwisterII.ini, TwisterII.xpd, and
TwisterII.pos.

In the Robot software, select File→New to open a new project
file. (All new projects use the TwisterII.ini file as a template. If
you are using an XP robot, you should copy the files out of the
\ICP\XP Templates\ folder and paste into the \ICP\ folder, and
then open the XPRobot.ini file to use as a template.)
Choose File→Save As to open the Save As window.
Navigate to the \ZyRobot\ICP folder.
Type the desired name for the file in the File Name text box.
Remember that the file name must match the name of the robot
resource in the automation control software.
Click the Save button. The Robot project is saved and the
project name and path displays in the title bar.
