Specifying the A1-well orientation The icon under the teachpoint name indicates the following: Item Description 1 A1-well orientation. From the robot’s perspective, the A1 well (the gray corner on the icon) can be: • Away from the robot grippers. or • Toward the robot grippers. or The robot cannot detect the location of the A1 well. Therefore, you must provide this information in the software. To change the A1-well orientation: Double-click the icon. The robot gripper symbol (green triangle) moves to the opposite side of the labware. Note: The robot is unaware of the A1-well orientation assignment. Changing it in the software does not automatically or physically change the way the robot holds the labware. 2 Labware orientation. The location of the green robot gripper symbol determines the orientation: • Landscape. or • Portrait. or Note: You cannot change the labware orientation. The software uses the gripper width to determine whether it is in the landscape or portrait mode. Possible orientations Four orientations are possible for each teachpoint, based on different A1-well and labware orientations. The following table presents the four orientations. Orientation icon Orientation description Labware is in the landscape orientation. The A1 well is away from the grippers. Labware is in the landscape orientation. The A1 well is toward the grippers. Labware is in the portrait orientation. The A1 well is away from the grippers. Labware is in the portrait orientation. The A1 well is toward the grippers. Related information For information about...
