Setup Tutorial 5:  (Optional) Teaching the Purge Locations

If you wish to execute the manual Purging sequence later to either test the operation of the syringes or to clear the needles, the locations where the robot is to purge the syringes must be taught.  The purging operation can be manually initiated from the Operator Control Panel, the left panel of the Edit or Configuration pages or from the Purge Setup panel.   If you do not wish to execute purging, this exercise can be skipped.

»  To define the Purge Locations, open Configurations > Purge Setup.

» Manually position the robot at the location that you have selected to purge the first syringe.

» Press Rec Head 1.

» If you are asked to "Overwrite current position", press Yes.

» Fill in the purging Time and the height that the robot should Approach the purge location.

» Repeat for the second syringe head if it is being used.

» Press Save to store the results on the flash disk.

You have successfully taught the syringe Purge Locations.  They will automatically be used whenever the Purge operation is invoked.  If you wish to verify the locations, you can manually move the robot to another position and then press "Move To".  If you wish to test purging, press "Run Purge".
