Hello,
We are toying with the idea of relocating the waste to make room for additional automation. It seems straightforward in Venus to change the system deck, but I’m wondering how this will impact the daily maintenance and verification? If we moved it, is there some way to update the system deck that the maintenance uses? thanks!
System deck layouts are method specific, but the specification of your waste position is actually a part of system configuration.
In the device configuration you can change which bay the waste is. I haven’t tested it with live methods with defined layouts so it might behave interestingly if changed with layouts already made.
I’d make sure everything in the Hamilton folder is backed up or better yet reach out to Hamilton to help/do this switch at the same time as a PM
Hi Zachary thank you for the help. I was able to find some settings in the service software that looked promising but we decided to go a different route.
Cheers,
Tom

You will need to make a duplicate .lay file that the maintenance deck uses and then move the waste to wherever you need to. then save and then delete the original .lay file and rename the duplicate to the original .lay file.
I did this because the default 96 waste it refers to will crash into our ODTC that is left of track 1.
Hope this helps!
