Operational Considerations
To optimize HandBot operations:
■
Mount scratch tapes- selects cartridges based on the LSM (rail)
■
Enter cartridges from the CAP to the closest LSM with free slots
■
The software tries to enter the cartridge to an LSM (rail) adjacent to the CAP.
■
The software also tries to eject the cartridge to the CAP adjacent to the LSM.
Note – When HandBot optimization is not possible by the host, the library controller
manages the moving of cartridges using a pass-thru operation (elevator).
