Running the Teach Test
The Teach test configures or calibrates the library.
When the library is first powered on the gripper moves to the home position, which it identifies as being at X-Y coordinate
position 0,0. It then moves to a magazine at the top and a magazine at the bottom on each side of each frame, and stores
those positions in coordinates relative to the 0,0 position. Calibration is not performed again automatically.
The Calibrate option of the Teach Test routine provides your library with fresh calibration information. After calibration, the
gripper moves to each storage magazine, I/E magazine, and drive in the library and stores information about them as part of
configuration. Configuration is not performed again automatically. The Configure option of the Teach Test routine provides
your library with fresh configuration information.
After calibration and configuration, the gripper scans all media in all the storage and I/E locations to build an inventory. Use
the Physical Library command on the Setup menu to disable or enable automatic inventory on startup. For more
information on this command, refer to
