Synthace has the ability to utilize and run your BioShake in automation workflows fully. Follow the necessary steps below to integrate your BioShake with Synthace.
Update Fluent Control
Ensure the BioShake carriers on your user worktable and the corresponding drivers have the same names.
On the worktable:
2. On the physical device:
3. To check the driver names, go to Settings > Configure System. If the names do not match, rename the carriers on the user worktable to match the driver names. This is how Synthace figures out how to map to the correct device.
4. Ensure that the BioShakes are added to the Synthace Base Worktable.
Note: To edit the correct base worktable, check the worktable that is selected under the Synthace Base Script. NOTE: Ensure that the BioShakes are in the exact same location on the user worktable and that they have the same names as the BioShakes on the user worktable.
5. For some devices that are already deployed, they may have a custom attribute on the carrier type set to SynthaceComponentRole = Ignored or SynthaceComponentRule = UnknownDevice.
6. Right click on the BioShake, go to Custom Attributes and delete these custom attributes if they are defined.
7. For better element validation, set a custom attribute on the BioShake telling Synthace the exact model of the BioShake installed on your Fluent. To do so, create the custom attribute SynthaceDeviceModel and set it equal to the specific device model (ex. SynthaceDeviceModel = BioShake Q1).

8. Regenerate a configuration file. For more information, see here.
Update the device instance in Synthace
9. Upload a new configuration file to your device instance. For more information see here.
Optional
You may not want Synthace to recognize some of the Bioshakes on your Fluent. This may be the case if there is a faulty device or if there is more than one type of BioShake on the worktable.
To recognize the unwanted BioShakes as normal positions rather than incubators, do the following:
If the BioShake utilizes a T-SCC driver, untick the I/O State checkbox in the driver settings and regenerate the configuration. To check if your Bioshake driver is T-SCC specific, check for the following commands in Fluent Control:
If the BioShake utilizes a Labwerx driver, give the carriers on the worktable a name that differs from any existing BioShake driver name so Synthace won’t select it. To check if your BioShake driver is Labwerx specific, check for the following commands in Fluent Control:
Regenerate the configuration file and upload the file to the Synthace cloud. See steps 8 and 9 for more details.
