You can easily define your pucks and dewars in ROCK MAKER to keep track of your crystals’ location. In this section, you will learn how to how to perform the following actions:
Before you harvest crystals in ROCK MAKER, you should define the puck that your crystals will be stored in. Each puck defined must be manually assigned a unique name and a unique barcode.
Important: Only a ROCK MAKER Administrator and an authorized user can create, edit, or delete a puck definition.
On the Explorer, expand the Setup node and double-click Crystal Container.
After the Crystal Container tab appears, right-click anywhere on the Pucks Definition panel, and select Add.
Then, define the following information:
Puck Name. Type a name for your puck in the Puck Name box.
Note: All puck names must be unique.
Barcode. Type the puck’s barcode number in the Barcode box.
Note: All barcode numbers must be unique.
Puck Type. Select the relevant puck type from the Puck Type list. The available options are SPINE Puck, Uni Puck, ALS Style Puck, or ACTOR Puck.
Pin Count. This column will be updated automatically after you have selected a puck type. The pin count displays the number of pins that the selected puck type contains.
Available Pin(s). This column will be updated automatically after you have selected a puck type and when you have assigned a crystal to a pin in that puck. The available pin(s) field displays the remaining number of open spaces for crystals in the selected puck.
Dewar. Select an available dewar from the list in which you want to store the selected puck.
In Use. This column will be selected automatically after you have assigned a puck to an available dewar. Clear the checkbox if you want to unassign the selected puck from the related dewar. Select Yes to unassign the puck, or click No to abort.
