View the State of the Library, Devices, and Partitions in the Status Bar

The status bar displays the overall library state which automatically updates based on the status of devices within the library.

  1. Look at the status bar near the top of the GUI.
  2. The indicator shows the current library state and the number of devices and partitions in each state.
  3. Click the library state in the status bar to display the current Library Condition Indicators and note any offline or inoperative devices.

Library States

The library status indicates the current library state. The state is a summary of all devices within the library.

  • Starting Up — the library will be in this state immediately after powering on or restarted. The library is waiting for devices to "announce" their presence. If the library remains in "Starting Up" state for more than a few minutes, click the library state to see what the library is waiting for.
  • Initializing Initializing icon — the library is initializing the robots.
  • Operative Operative state icon — the library is fully operational.
  • Operative, Partially Online — the library is operational, but some devices are in an offline state. Click the "Operative, Partially Online" status for a list of offline devices.
  • Degraded Degraded icon — a device in the library has failed or is offline, but the library can continue to function.
  • Inoperative Inoperative state icon — a device has failed and the library cannot function (such as a failed robot in a single robot configuration).

Partition and Device States

Each partition and device within the library has a state displaying its current status.

Device Status — In the status bar, clicking the device count adjacent to the indicator takes you to the hardware device tree. The device counts in the status bar include all devices but not modules, while the device counts in the device tree include modules. Therefore, the device counts in the status bar and device tree will differ slightly.

Partition Status — In the status bar, clicking any of the partition counts takes you to the partition page where you can filter or sort by control or operational state.

Status Indicators:

  • Operative Operative state icon — the device/partition is operating properly. A device is operative if the library can fully use the device, its control state is online, and its operational state is operative.
  • Offline Offline icon — the device/partition is in the offline control state.
  • Degraded Degrated device/partition icon — a device/partition has failed, but the library can continue to function.
  • Inoperative Inoperative device/partition icon — a device/partition has failed causing the library to not function.
