16. RETURN [Stacks]
RETURN will place plates located under the indicated stacks into the stacks. The
Stacks parameter is a bit mask indicating the stacks to return to. Omitting the
Stacks parameter causes the StackLink to return any plates under both stacks.
Plates under stacks not specified in the mask will remain at their current location.
Example:
Command:
RETURN 1<13><10>
Response: 0000 Success<13><10>
17. SENDPLATE {Direction}, {Start}
SENDPLATE indicates the StackLink should send the labware located at the start
position off the conveyor in the indicated direction. A 1 indicates forward
motion. A 0 indicates reverse. The conveyor remains active until an
ACKNOWLEDGESEND command is received.
Example:
Command:
SENDPLATE 1,5<13><10>
Response: 0000 Success<13><10>
18. SETCONFIG {Configuration}
SETCONFIG sets a bit mask indicating the available positions on the StackLink unit.
There are 10 possible positions allowing values between 0 and 1023.
Example:
Command: SETCONFIG 112<13><10>
Response: 0000 Success<13><10>
19. SETDISPENSEDELAY {Time}
SETDISPENSEDELAY sets the additional time in milliseconds that the plate seats
will be held open when dispensing a plate. This allows the stacker to dispense
double-flanged or otherwise oddly shaped plates. This time should be 0 for most
plates.
Example:
Command: SETDISPENSEDELAY 0<13><10>
Response: 0000 Success<13><10>
