Startup error message
The
Please verify that it is safe to home the W-axis
message appears during initialization
of the AssayMAP Bravo Platform.
Resolving the error
IMPORTANT
If you are not using the System Startup utility and this message appears, you should
typically click
Retry
to continue homing the
w
-axis.
Cause
Recommended action
The first time that the AssayMAP Bravo device
is initialized after turning on the instrument, this
error occurs as a warning so you can manage
any liquid that might be present in the syringes.
For example, if the System Shutdown utility
was used when shutting down the AssayMAP
Bravo, 200 µL of liquid is in each syringe.
If this message appears during a run of the System Startup
utility, click
Ignore and Continue, leaving device in current
state
.
The Startup utility will automatically home the
w
-axis in a
later step when the head is moved above the wash station
to ensure that any liquid in the syringes are managed
properly.
