Dedicated Cassettes and Multiple-Use Cassettes

If you have a separate cassette and trolley dedicated to each plate type you use, a cassette number identification label is attached to each cassette. The Palladio “reads” this label when the cassette is docked, and performs operations according to the various parameters you have set for those plates.

If you have only one cassette and trolley that you use as a multiple-use unit, you change plate types in the cassette as needed. As there is no label for the Palladio to read, you input information into the Palladio each time you change the plates.

The procedures for setting some information for dedicated and for multiple-use cassettes vary slightly. General information is given directly below. More specific instructions for each category of information follow.

Entering Settings 4–3
