Checking the current position of the device

Procedure

To check the current position of the MiniHub:

1	If you have not already done so, open diagnostics. For instructions, see Opening Labware MiniHub Diagnostics.

2	In the Controls tab, check the values in the Cassette and Position boxes.

 

•	Cassette. Indicates the cassette that is currently facing the robot. For example, a Cassette value of 3 indicates that cassette 3 is facing the robot. A dash (—) indicates that the Labware MiniHub is between cassette positions.

•	Position. Indicates the position of the Labware MiniHub relative to its home position. Position values range from 0–360°, counterclockwise from the home position.

The Cassette values correspond to the following Position values:

 

Cassette	Position value
1 (home)	0°
2	90°
3	180°
4	270°

If the Labware MiniHub is between cassette positions, other position values will be displayed. For example, if the Labware MiniHub is exactly between cassette 1 (0°) and cassette 2 (90°), the Position value is 45°.
