Diagnosing Robotic Issues

Diagnosing Robotic Issues
Diagnostic moves can help monitor or diagnose robotic problems by issuing a series of
"get" and "put" operations. The system chooses a robot for the diagnostic move based
on the minimum and maximum ranges set for the target and pool addresses. Multiple
robots may be selected if the address range requires it.
Successful diagnostic moves do not rearrange the cartridges in the library — the
system returns cartridges to their original locations. However, some diagnostic move
failures can cause cartridges to be left in new locations.
