Recovering from an emergency stop

If the Bravo Platform is integrated with other devices in a system, Agilent
Technologies recommends that you install a main emergency-stop unit, such as the
Robot Disable Hub, that will stop all devices simultaneously. In addition, all operators
must be instructed in the emergency-stop procedure.
You might not be able to resume a protocol after an emergency stop. Do not use an
emergency stop to pause a run. To pause and continue a run, use the appropriate
commands in the VWorks software.
To stop in an emergency:
Press the red button on the emergency-stop pendant. The Bravo head stops
immediately.
