Choose Maximum if you want the PnP to move at maximum speed. Choose
Slow if you want the PnP to move at the speed specified in the PnP vector.
15.61.1 Moving tubes with the PnP Vector command
If you have scanned the tube barcode and you move the tube with the Transfer
Tube command, the barcode remains assigned to the tube (i.e. the tube data
record) at the new location. In addition, pipetting information, if any, remains
assigned to the tube (see 15.26 “Export Data Command”, 15-48).
This is not the case with the PnP Vector command. The barcode and the pipetting
information are no longer available at the new location.
Proceed as follows if you want to use the PnP Vector command to move barcoded
tubes in special situations:
• After scanning the barcode, assign it to a temporary variable (see
14.1.11 “Labware Attributes and String Variables”, 14-16).
• Move the tube.
• Re-assign the barcode from the temporary variable to the tube.
This workaround transfers the barcode but not the pipetting information.
15.62 Transfer Tube Command
This command is used to transfer a tube from one position to another with the
tube robot (PnP).
If you have scanned the tube barcode and you move the tube with the Transfer
Tube command, the barcode remains assigned to the tube (i.e. the tube data
record) at the new location. In addition, pipetting information, if any, remains
assigned to the tube (see 15.26 “Export Data Command”, 15-48).
You do not need to specify a PnP vector with this command because each
labware type (e.g. tube rack) is associated with only one PnP vector for each PnP
arm, so there is no choice to make.
Grip and release commands for the PnP (to pick up and put down the tube) are
handled automatically. The required gripper spacing is taken from the Grip
Distance and Release Distance parameters in the PnP vector for the selected
labware type.
