-Designing laboratory automation programs involve defining and adjusting object physical parameters that are positioned on the robotic deck. The physical parameters define the XYZ positioning of the 3D printer/liquid handler/CNC robotic system.  Building macros can involve both compiling individual commands or by integrating other macro lists. The LabAutoBox software allows you to test that the macros are working properly and to make adjustments when needed and there is a logger display interface that allows you to monitor the progress of the application. If a problem is observed you can abruptly stopped by pressing the "Disconnect" button described in Interactive mode.

-The robotic deck display is designed to work with different sized robotic systems like small 3D printers or larger liquid handling workstations. At the top of the deck display there is a tool for adjusting the width and height. The location of the objects is relative to the zero position being at the bottom left corner of the instrument this is where the instrument should be homed to.

+The 'Build Macro' tool is useful for crafting macros but they need to be tested and this is done in this view. Since there can be some syntax to some of these macros. The macros listed in the 'Macro assembler' box at the bottom of the 'Build Macro' view are abbreviated and so the full syntax is shown in this 'Edit/Run Macro'.
