assembly into the docking position. Applying lateral forces on the tower link
assembly to move the collator can result in damage.

Note
Two tower DigiVAC support was introduced in GUI S/W version V2.1a. This is the
minimum required.
Both towers MUST have the same version of software installed.
It is strongly recommended that the latest released version of S/W is always used if
possible.
