Dock CGM after move
This setting is only relevant for Freedom EVOware Plus. In Freedom
EVOware Standard, the CGM can be docked and undocked using script
commands.
The CGM (common gripper module) is a hardware option for the MCA384
which can be used to pick up and move labware. The CGM can only be used
for gripping and moving labware when it is undocked.
If sufficient space is available on the worktable, the CGM can be kept
permanently undocked to avoid the time needed for undocking when the CGM
is used. This speeds up commands which use the CGM.
Check this checkbox if you want to automatically dock the CGM again after
using it. In this case, it will be undocked automatically before it is used and
docked again when the operation is finished. Docking reduces the amount of
space required by the MCA384/CGM hardware in the X direction.
If you do not check this checkbox, the CGM is normally kept permanently
undocked. If it has been docked by a previous operation for some reason, it
will be undocked before it is used.
To optimize the speed of more complex operations, you can leave the
checkbox unchecked and specify a MCA384_DockCGM command as a preaction
or post action to the last MCA384 movement command before carrying
out the pipetting sequence.
To dock the CGM, the gripper fingers are lowered below the MCA384 pipetting
head, opened completely and rotated until they point to the left. The grippers
are then raised again until the pipetting head is positioned centrally between
the fingers. When docked, the CGM always moves together with the pipetting
head, and the pipetting head can be moved as if the CGM is not mounted. Tip:
You can test and view docking and undocking using the 3D simulator
EVOSim.

The Command Generation tab is used to make settings for the default pre-actions
and post-actions to be used when generating commands for the MCA384. The
settings are only relevant to Freedom EVOware Plus.
