IMPORTANT
If the workstation is running a protocol, be sure to pause or
finish the run before changing the key setting. If you are in BenchBot Robot
Diagnostics and you have commanded the robot to move, make sure you stop
the robot or allow it to finish moving before changing the key setting. Failure
to pause the run or stop the robot before changing the key setting can cause
an emergency stop condition and an error in the VWorks software. To recover
from the emergency stop, see the
BenchBot Robot User Guide . To recover from
VWorks errors, see the VWorks Automation Control User Guide .

normal operation. To restore the workstation for normal operation, see the
BenchBot Robot User Guide .
