Is there a list of the possible values for the ‘MlStarTipRack’ labware property field. I am currently working on using the two different types of QCGs on our deck and want to make sure the value is set correctly.
This would ultimately come down to which version of VENUS you are running as the values have changed until they were recently finalized in 6.4.
As of 6.4 we have 3 models of QCG, the standard one, the deep grasp one, and now the mid grasp one which is likely to become the default for system sales in the near future.
In 6.4, the MlStarTipRack property is defined as follows:
- Standard QCG: 57
- DGQCG: 58
- MGQCG: 73
If you are on an earlier version of VENUS and are unsure what values they should be then you can find those values in the ML_STARtype.cfg or VantageType.cfg in the config folder. You might need to convert them to ascii first with the HxCfgFilConverter tool in the bin folder. Entries will look like the following:
“(57”,
“311”,
“2”,
“53”,
“1”,
“612”,
“0”,
“54”,
“1”,
“65”,
“-1”,
“514”,
“69.2”,
“66”,
“0”,
“515”,
“0”,
“37”,
“0”,
“58”,
“120.9”,
“(9”,
“30”,
“1”,
“31”,
“11”,
“)”,
“11”,
“1000ul Quad CO-RE Grip Tool (Ham org. name)”,
“510”,
“0”,
“32”,
“2”,
“(13”,
“5MaximumAirDeadVolume”,
“0”,
“)”,
“)”,
The first value (57 above) is the tip type.

Thank you @MatthewSmith_Hamilton. I am running on an older version of Venus so I had to go in the config file to find the values that I needed.
