Calibrate device
The device must be calibrated each time it is switched on. The device must also be cali-
brated if it is actuated again after a pause and the drives are not in the zero position.
The software checks whether the device needs to be calibrated. If so, the software issues
a message.

Software message: Drives are not calibrated (example)
The software message and the automatic sequence during calibration differ depending
on the initial situation.

just minimizes the software message. You cannot continue to
operate the device without calibration.
The software cannot start calibration if the gripper fingers are still holding a microplate
(→ "Detach/dispose of microplate from gripper"
36). There must also no longer be a
microplate on the shelf (→ "Remove the microplate from the shelf"
Prevent collisions
If, for example, the drives are not in the zero position after an operating stop, the device
moves to positions away from the predefined travel paths during calibration. This can
lead to collisions. Therefore, the software issues a message:

Software message: Device in unknown position (example)
As long as the software message is displayed, you can correct the position of the drives
and steer the device around obstacles:
