1GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE INSTRUMENT
1.1 Overall view of the unit
Figure 1.1
The CUBE 30 TOUCH module consists of a single body containing all the operating
functions necessary for analyzing the sample.
The instrument has 30 housings arranged in two concentric circles with 15 positions
each, which allow the insertion of samples. The tube rack is also equipped with a reducer
for the use of rubber tubes. (Use the plate reducer only when using rubber tubes)
One motor lifts the reading unit which utilizes four optical sensors (one per position) to
verify the suitability of the sample and detect the level at baseline and at the end of the
sedimentation time.
Sample identification is carried out using an internal barcode reader that reads when
the sample is detected by the optical sensor. The sample identification code can also be
entered manually using a virtual keyboard if not automatically read by the instrument.
The function of the alarm is to alert the operator during various stages of the operating
cycle or in the event of errors.

To save the screens insert a pen drive and click on the "CUBE 30 touch" logo at the top,
the instrument will emit a beep and start saving, after a few seconds it will emit a further
beep to confirm the saving. If the procedure encounters problems, a lower tone beep
will be emitted.
The .BMP files are saved in the "SSHOT" subfolder of the pen drive. Each SH0000x.BMP

You can choose between different types of protocols.
Monodirectional (V60-xxx Type) and bidirectional.
Some of these are present for compatibility with the
"Original" Ves-Matic line instruments.
Set address and baud rate parameters for any host protocol
selected.
- For the NEW_MASTER protocol:
if a sample is discarded from the host, the yellow error
stamp containing the word "HR" (Host Reject) is displayed
on both the plate and in the samples screen.
- 500 mS of waiting ACK x 3 attempts
- if the host responds to the ACK, the response is
expected for a maximum time of 15 seconds.
In the event of an ACK or ANSWER error: the sample is
executed.
