Verify the Library is Operational

Verify that the library is fully initialized and operational. You should verify the library state before doing a library connection test or data collection, as these processes will fail if the library is not fully initialized.

Note:

If you are configuring multiple library connections at one once, to minimize library disruption, complete this procedure for all libraries before testing the connections.
