The teaching commands are separated into two groups: Rotary Teaching
calibrates the rotary positions, Vertical Teaching calibrates the vertical
positions. In addition, the Reset Well-plate Handler button moves the gripper
arm to its rotary and vertical home positions. The Initialize Counter button is
used to reset the WPH Movements counter in the Module Details of the
Well-plate Sampler to zero, for example after maintenance or exchange of the
Well-plate Handler.
The rotary home position is not directly above position R1.
NO TE
Rotary Teaching
The Rotary Teaching group contains a list of the coordinates for each of the rack
positions and the Automation Interface transport position. You select a
position to calibrate, for example, R1, and use the buttons to set the
coordinates. The Well-plate Handler arm can be rotated about 330 degrees, via
a stepper motor with 3400 steps. Positive numbers move the arm in a
clockwise direction; negative numbers move the arm counter-clockwise.
