Tecan Freedom EVO - Initialization error with RoMa

Hi,

I have a Tecan Freedom EVO 200 with EVOware v2.7.

My RoMa arm is currently in an awkward position in the z-axis, a result of having to “Abort” a script. When I open EVOware again to try to initialize, the RoMa cannot move as needed, causing the initialization to error out before completing. Is there a way I can move up the RoMA in EVOware prior to this (faulty) initialization? Alternatively, I notice when the robot is off, I can manually move the RoMa in the x and y directions; however, the z direction seems to be locked when trying to push up - is there a way to manually move it up?

Z is not locked when power is off, just has quite a bit of resistance,

if this doesn’t work, there are external commands to initialize and handle the Z axis initialization that can be run outside of the application software

Thanks - this gave me the confidence to push hard and indeed it can be moved manually in z direction.
