    help creating program

    Hi-- I have a Zymark Twister that I want to create a program for so it will run in a continuous loop picking up some homemade trays for a display in a store. I picked this up used and since I am not using it for its intended use as a micro plate processor, I really don't want to bother the manufacturer. It runs off the 9 pin COM 1 port and I wonder if there is a "simple" cnc program that I could use to run this thing-- thanks In advance- Jack

    Having worked in biotech I am familiar with what you want to do.

    There is no CNC program to do what you want. you will likely need to run the unit from PC. The unit is likely CAN bus and you can create a program using LabView, C, or VB.

    This might be a little more effort depending on what you are looking to do.

    I would call Caliper (they bought zymark) and see if they will sell you software for that system.

    Good luck.
