How to Locate Diagnostic Test Values

Obtain parameters from the GUI to provide required values to run a diagnostic test.

Determine a Cell ID

1. Click Cells/Tapes in the left navigation area of the GUI.
2. Select the Tapes to locate a tape cartridge or All Cells tab to locate an empty cell. The cell ID is an integer value found in the Cell ID column (such as 666), it is not the cell address (such as 1,F,1).

Determine a Device ID

1. Click Hardware in the left navigation area of the GUI.
2. Select the tab that corresponds to the device.
3. The ID column indicates the device ID.

Determine a CAP ID

1. Click CAPs in the left navigation area of the GUI.
2. Select the CAPs tab. The ID column indicates the CAP ID.

Determine a Drive ID

1. Click Drives in the left navigation area of the GUI.
2. The Drive ID column indicates the drive ID.

Determine a Robot ID

1. Click Robots in the left navigation area of the GUI.
2. The ID column indicates the robot ID.

Determine a Partition ID

1. Click Partitioning in the left navigation area of the GUI.
2. Select the Partitions tab. The ID column indicates the partition ID.

Determine the Robot Range

1. Click Robots in the left navigation area of the GUI.
2. From the Actions drop-down (or right-click menu), select Robot Diagnostics and then select Get Robot Ranges.

   Note:

   Only use values between the operational limits. Values outside the operational limits, but inside the physical limits, may cause high currents and robot damage.

Robot Mechanisms

• TRACK — Horizontal robot motion along the rails.
• WRIST — Rotary motion of the hand allowing it to move from back wall to front wall.
• REACH — Mechanism that moves the gripper out of hand to get or put a tape into a cell or drive
• GRIP — Mechanism that grips a tape cartridge and holds it while moving into or out of the hand.

Mils to Tach Conversion Factors

• TRACK - 0.552024828 tachs/mil
• WRIST - 0.3669 tachs/mil
• ZMECH - 1.3503 tachs/mil
• REACH - 0.8128 tachs/mil
• GRIP - 20.48 tachs/mil
