Adding and linking Sub Process tasks

About this topic This topic describes how to add a sub-process to a protocol and configure it. Read this topic if you are an administrator or technician and are responsible for creating protocols in VWorks or BenchWorks software.

Before you read this Before you read this topic, become familiar with the topics in the VWorks Version 3 Automation Control User Guide or BenchWorks Automation Control User Guide describing what a protocol is and how it is created.

Setting Sub Process task parameters

Sub Process tasks indicate the existence of a subroutine within a protocol. Sub-processes typically contain a series of liquid handling tasks used by devices such as the VPrep Pipettor or Multimek dispenser.

The first step in creating a pipette process is to add a Sub Process task to the protocol editor. Drag the Sub Process icon into the process.

When you add the Sub Process task, a new sub-process is started in the pipette process editor. This process is identified by its sub-process link icon.

Because you can have more than one sub-process in a protocol, you must link the Sub Process task to the correct sub-process.

To link the Sub Process task to the correct sub-process:

1.In the Protocol Editor, add a Sub Process task to the protocol and then select it in the protocol sequence.

2.In the Protocol Task Parameters toolbar, select the sub-process that you want to use for this pipetting task from the Use Sub Process list.
