5.3.1 Device control

You have access to precise Echo device control. The ability to command
internal mechanism movement is useful during maintenance,
troubleshooting, and diagnostic procedures. Access to device control is

uses eleven sets of checkboxes and status indicators. They are
discussed below.
 The Miscellaneous section of the D
diagnostic procedures drop-down list and L

Note: The Echo liquid handler will not allow device movement that
would cause damage to itself. For example, if the process door is
closed when the source plate gripper stage is commanded to extend
outside, the Echo liquid handler opens the process door first.
