Drop-in Commands Gripper Rot Specifies the rotational angle of the gripper. Set to Current Sets the values for vertical, rotational, and gripper rotation to the current position values. Plate Acquisition Pickup Position Specifies the position in which the Plate Crane must be in order to pick up the plate from the stage. This position is determined by the stage position and the relative position settings for Vertical, Rotational, and Gripper rotation. This can be a unique position or the same position as the plate acquisition. Use Plate Acquisition Position Specifies that the Plate Acquisition Position and the Plate Acquisition Pickup Position are the same. If the Plate Acquisition Position is different from the Plate Acquisition Pickup Position, make sure that the Use Plate Acquisition Position box is checked. Go To Moves the plate crane arm (vert) and tower (rot) to the specified location. Vert Specifies the vertical position for the Plate Crane arm. All locations below the home position are specified as negative values. Rot Specifies the rotational position of the Plate Crane tower. Set to current Sets the values for vertical and rotational to the current position values. Rest Position Specifies the location of the Plate Crane rest position. This is the position in which the plate crane waits while acquisition is in progress. This position is usually a position between the rack locations and the Plate Acquisition position. Go To Moves the plate crane arm to the rest position. Vert Specifies the Plate Crane arm vertical location for the rest position. Rot Specifies the Plate Crane arm rotational location for the rest position. Set to Current Sets the values for the current vertical and rotational positions as the values for the Rest position. Lid Storage Position Defines the location for plate lid storage. Specify values for both the vertical and rotational positions. Note: To use this option, Lids must be checked in the checkbox at the top of this dialog box. Go To Moves the Plate Crane to the vertical and rotational positions defined in the Vert and Rot boxes.
