A back to basics question: I want to disable “Load Carrier” - step from reading any barcodes, how to achieve this? I tried adding a MlStarNoReadBarcode property to the tube carrier labware but that didn’t work. Also haven’t figured out if and how this is doable through the Load Carrier “Error Settings”?
Thanks!
Hi @NFred ,
If you change the MlStarCarCountOfBCPos property to 0, that will tell the Autoload there are no sites to scan. It will still verify the carrier barcode but should immediately load the carrier back into the system with no scanning.
Another option is to disable barcode reading in the specific Load Carrier (Single Step). In the Advanced option, enter “” in the Positions of labware items to be used parameter field as shown below:
In the Help section, it details what wildcards can be set in this field:
Wildcards:
| “?” | To read all positions where a labware is present, use the question mark character placed between quotation marks as a wildcard (used as default). |
|---|---|
| “*” | To read all positions use the asterisks character placed between quotation marks as a wildcard |
| “1,2” | To read only defined positions use the number character placed between quotation marks as position, separated with comma. |
| “” | To read no barcodes use the empty string. |
Thanks guys for the help!
