Description:

Use this to tell the autoloader system to not bother trying that last part of whatever command it was working on before it got an error and suspended. In other words, to "clear" from the current command. This command will only do something if the autoloader is indeed suspended.

Note that this command also will work if the autoloader suspended during a workstation-directed image, but if you do this then the workstation will still think the recorder is suspended, and the two will get out of sync with each other (i.e. one of the two will get really confused, and at least either the recorder or workstation will have to be reset before things can continue normally).

For 3230/3244 Trendsetter Autoloader only, starting at V1.30:

The pick/load steps have been separated from the unload/process steps. An extra parameter can be used to specify which plate has been removed. On diagnostic commands, all plate-handling errors will include a message "ALE expected suspend responses" or "TABLE expected suspend responses". This indicates whether the ale task (controls picking and loading) or the table task (controls unloading and processing) has been suspended. The parameters "ale" or "table" can now be appended to the clear command for extra clarity:

clear ale ......... indicates that the plate being picked or loaded has been removed.

clear table ...... indicates that the plate being unloaded or processed has been removed.

If both tasks are suspended and clear is entered, the firmware will request that either clear ale or clear table be entered.
