RESETCURRFIB Command
| Format: | RESETCURRFIB (no parameters) |
| Description: | Reset the current fibre. This command is dangerous in that it is this variable which limits the movement of the robot while it thinks it is carrying a fibre and prevents the robot trying to pickup a second fibre. It may be necessary to use this command if a failure has occurred leaving a fibre stuck in that jaws as the automatic recover command will not work with a fibre stuck in that jaws. In this case place the fibre on the plate using low level restricted commands then use the RESETCURRFIB command and then the normal RECOVER command. |
| Example: | Engineering command > resetcurrfib |
For further information refer to the `AF2 Control System Software Manual' - see section 3.4.
