3. Press <ENTR> again to accept “Do once”
The screen will display the words “Executing. To stop: press key & hold until end of move”.
As the robotic moves were entered at the fastest possible safe speed (3000 µm/sec) setting the
move should appear significantly faster than the move to home above. If you wish, you can
change your move to home to the speed of 3000 µm/sec from the default value of 2000 µm/sec
(home speed can be changed whenever you enter a new home).
CAUTION: Although the absolute maximum microns/sec. speed allowable in low (coarse)
resolution is 6,550, it is essential that a speed no higher than 3,000 be used with the MP-
285A model controller.
If you programmed a multiple step withdrawal pattern to move your pipette out through a
circuitous route, you may want to use a similar pattern to move your pipette into the
working area. This can be accomplished simply by executing the above robotic movement in
reverse:
1.
From the move screen, press <*> to enter the Robotics menu
2. <TAB> 2X to “Execute” and press <ENTR>
3. <TAB> 2X to “Reverse” and press <ENTR> to accept.
The manipulator will position the pipette in the center of your field of view in the reverse
order of the steps you used to move it out when you taught the controller this routine above.
6.6 Loading a Saved Program
If the program you wish to run has been saved but is not currently loaded, perform the
following steps:
1.
Press <*> to enter the Robotics menu
2. <TAB> 5X to “Select program” and press <ENTR>
3. <TAB> to “Load” and press <ENTR> to accept
4. <TAB> to a desired program and press <ENTR>
5. <ESC> back to the movement screen
