Testing the Robotic Hand Assembly

Command: Maintenance > Diagnostics

This test is useful in checking the functionality of the robotic hand assembly. Unlike running the demo mode, this test performs only a partial test of the hand movement. The test performs random get and put operations. As the test runs, it will randomly choose a full storage element, and then move the cartridge from full the element to the hand; the test will then place the media back to the original storage element.

Note: This diagnostic test is available only on Lxxx libraries.

To test the function of the robotic hand assembly:

1. Click Get/Put.

Warning: This operation will make the library unavailable for host operations. Any backups currently in process will fail.

2. Set the Loop Count by clicking the 5 or 6buttons or type a number.

Note: The loop count allows you to track the Gets and Puts. One loop is equal to one "get" (that is getting a cartridge from a cell) and one "put" (putting a cartridge into a cell).

3. Click Start.

4. Enter your library password and click OK.
