16.3.4 Carousel - ReturnPlateByBarcode Command
The ReturnPlateByBarcode command returns labware from the carousel transfer
position to its original position in the carousel.
To use this command, before getting labware from the carousel you must scan the
barcodes of all of the labware in the carousel with the ReadAllBarcodes or
ReadPlatesInCartridge command. The carousel driver then creates an internal
table with information on which labware is stored in which position This allows the
carousel to keep track of the orginal position of barcoded labware which has been
removed.
The ReturnPlateByBarcode command must be preceded by the
PreReturnPlateByBC command. The following sequence of commands must be
used to return labware to its orginal position in the carousel:
• Carousel - PreReturnPlateByBC
• RoMa - Transfer Labware
• Carousel - ReturnPlateByBarcode
The Carousel - EndAccess command is not required in this case.
When the ReturnPlateByBarcode command is executed, the carousel handler
moves the labware into the carousel, moves back to the transfer position and
moves in again. The double movement is necessary for mechanical reasons.
