Software changes:
 New setting in application settings for pipetting version to make it
possible to fillup trays with new cuvettes (tray 1 and 2)
automatically when opening the measurepanel.
 New setting in application setting to automatically load sampletray
holders with available sampletrays in the table.

when opening a table and a pipettingrun is possible.
Build version 4.0.0.14:
 Software Changes:
 New settings in application settings inserting an extra step into
cuvette processing. When a diluted High range cuvette has an
underrange error the software first retry the sample onto high range
with undiluted sample before switching to a lowrange cuvette.
 When unloading cuvette samples and not all cuvettes in the tray are
finished a message appears to confirm if only the finished
samplecuvettes or all samplecuvettes needs to be unloaded.
 Bug solved when for a remeasurement for a blank is needed the
sample position for the blank needs to be filled into the table when
creating the record for the new blank cuvette.

 Software changes:
 Saving data tables into set folder (somewhere on the network). This
folder can be set in the application settings.
Build version 4.0.0.16:
 Software changes:
 Automatically remeasure blank if a sample cuvette has a barcode
error. If blank has an barcode error an errormessage appears
because the software needs to have a correct reading of the blanks.
 During calibration it will be possible to enter the filled volumes in
calibration cuvettes into one screen and not one by one. It is also
possible to enter only the average dispensed volume into the box
“average volume” if the calculation already has been done by the
operator. In this case the operator don’t has to enter all dispensed
volumes.

 In case of communication errors with heater the mainrun will
continu and aborted.
o Build version 4.0.0.22:
 Software changes:
 Blank registration implemented in measuring robot. In case of
unknown last measurement type a blank tube will be measured first
before measuring samples if blank is available.
 Unneeded (“waituntil”) timing delays of 5 ms removed out of the
minilab drivers software because of program “hangs” when testing
without robot connected for simulation runs.
o Build version 4.0.0.23:
 Software changes:
 Issue solved sensor check after closing/opening gripper was not
done every time the gripper was opened/closed.

 Software changes:
 “Bug” solved correct readout of homesensors in IO window for
gripper XYZ.
o Build version 4.0.0.28:
 Software changes:
 Implement feature to run on only one core of the computer
processor because of blocked program at customer CAE in France
(using measuring COD robot). Also “Handlemessage” function is
replace with “Processmessage” function in robotdrivers.
o Build version 4.0.0.29:
 Software changes:
 Usage of tests without blanks implemented. Problems when
running test with only a blank needed for one range. Window
changed when selecting test for cuvette tray 1 or 2 (low or high).
Possibility to select to not use a blank for selected test.
 Version 4.0.1.:
o Build version 4.0.1.1:
 Software changes:
 Possibility to use DR3900 instead of DR3800 in the software. For
this the file “ML_Revision_Info.ini” needs to be modified.
 Dummy tray implemented for positioning dummy cuvettes for
high/low range 500/400 COD tests and for the blank for the
LCK414 test. With this tray it will be possible to run only one
method at full capacity.
 Possibility to add new columns to the tables/templates. This option
is available under the menu-item “Table – Add Column”.
 Automatically turn off heaters in case of breakdown of robot during
the run. If nothing is done by operator within half an hour started
from the errormessage shown at the breakdown the run will be
aborted automatically and the heaters will be set to 20 degrees.

 When using the function “Fillup trays with new tubes
automatically” from the application settings the window to select
the test to load will not popup automatically anymore when
activating the pipetting run with the menu-item. The trays with
empty cuvettes will be filled up automatically with the existing
testcuvettes in the trays.
 When the column “Unit” contains the text “mg/L AP” the data will
be changed automatically to “mg/L”.
 Extinction, Blank extinction, and turbidity will be stored in the
correct columns in the database.

of this gripper Z arm could not run into failed if mechanically
blocked.
Build version 4.0.2.12:
 Software changes:
 Compare decapping / capping parameters as programmed and used
in version 4.0.1.11.
 Implementing settings for “Max Following Error” value for
cap/decap motor. Values are default 100000 and 20000 and these
should be sufficient for correct decapping and capping. These
values are fixed programmed in the past but to have these values to
be changed if needed these values are implemented as settings.
 Implementing AP3800/AP3900 positioning command window to
make it easier to test and configure the robot positioning.
 Parking robot routine is changed. Robot will only move to park
position if run is finished, stopped or paused. In the past robot
always moved to park position when part of processing is finished
or another part needs to be started (filling cuvettes, move from
heater to cuvettetrays, shake cuvettes, measure cuvettes).
