New VENUS Software
Know one, know all
Operate everything from one control center
Efficiency at Your Fingertips: The New VENUS Hamilton’s new VENUS software is designed to make lab automation user-friendly. VENUS is expanding from the Microlab STAR to the STAR V and Microlab VANTAGE, allowing you to transfer workflows between systems and platforms. VENUS Software The system’s flexible hardware is reflected by the VENUS software, which provides several programming levels to fit your applications. VENUS offers simple-to-complex programming, without limiting your imagination or com- promising your requirements. Additional software pack- ages, such as the Dynamic Scheduler (for optimized resource use), the TADM feature (for full traceability of the pipetting workflow), the DatabasePlus option (to use remote tracking servers), and the Dynamic Liquid Classi- fication plugin (for automatic liquid class selection), make VENUS even more powerful. Make it Yours VENUS has a Home Screen that is completely customiz- able with your icons, photos, or images. This allows users to immediately identify their preferred methods and launch desired workflows by simply clicking on their personalized images.
Intuitive Method Creation VENUS’s intuitive editors give you full control in every aspect of your method. It comes with guided steps for simple method creation and offers advanced program- ming functions for ultimate customization and flexibility. Customize your labware, dynamic pipetting patterns, individual volumes, error handling options, data han- dling, walk-away routines, and much more. For example, almost every programming step offers an individual treatment of every possible error case, in which auto- matic, semi-automatic or manual recovery is selectable. It is an intuitive user interface to control the Microlab NIMBUS, Microlab STAR and STAR V, Microlab VAN- TAGE, and any third-party component that allows remote access. While programming, the intuitive and modular concept reduces programming time and lets you achieve results faster with less training. At runtime, intelligent dialogs (created with the Customized Dialog step) reduce error-prone user inputs and provide clear visualization of method parameters or custom-tailored loading instructions.
Today’s automation solutions often require demanding integration of third-party equipment. Hamilton has responded to these needs with seamless integration via device drivers. Remote-controllable third-party components can be integrated into VENUS at any time, making your system integration friendly, flexible, and future-proof. Thanks to its open design, VENUS software can control most third-party hardware. Benefit from Hamilton’s outstanding error-handling concept, which provides multi-level error recoveries, even for non-Hamilton components. This intelligent setup guarantees worry-free operation in which all resources work seamlessly in one, integrated system.
