Hi
I’m looping over two tip sequences (source to pick up tips and destination to eject tips) - to move tips around on deck. The problem is that sometimes the source and destination are the same location and its inefficient to pick and put back in the same location.
Is there a way to compare the labware and position IDs of those 8 specific positions within a loop prior to the movement - so that if they are identical, i can increment the loop and skip those 8 positions.
Hi @cdm,
The default Library “HSLSeqLib” has functions to retrieve the Labware ID and Position ID at the Current Position of a Sequence:
This can be used in tandem with the SeqIncrement function to move the Current Position forwards/backwards as needed to retrieve the IDs and reset back to the original position.
Thank you,
Dan
