Sending a notification to user during error recovery on Vantage

[NickHealy_Hamilton]

The best way to accomplish this specific behavior would be to parse the step data after aspiration (and dispense) to monitor for any automatically handled errors, and send an email using the HSLUtilLib library.

This post provides a detailed example of handling step data for error monitoring (within that post is also a link to an additional example):

Increase Channel Height during cLLD error

Hi @ninjasquad31 and welcome to the forum! Custom error handling will be required to overcome this issue but as @bowlineknot mentioned, you can parse the return data from the aspiration step to set additional recoveries custom to the needs of each channel based on whether or not it encountered an error. Brief step data overview: Step return data can be used or a number of different ML_STAR steps and capture a ton of useful tracking data for each sample/channel combination of an aspiration ste…

HSLUtilLib Email Issue

Hi, New user here (both of the Hamilton Method Editor and of these forums), so apologies if this question has been answered somewhere else. One of the things I’m trying to do in my code is use the “SendEmail” command of the HSLUtilLib library; but whenever I try to run the simulation it gives me the following error: “Cannot send email. Root cause: “Failure sending mail.” (0x4c - 0xc - 0x0) (0x23 - 0x2 - 0x39)” From using the GetEmailAddressOfSender and GETSMTPServerHostName commands it seems …

Thanks.
