Manually loads a plate onto the drum. Assumes that the LEC was open and a plate was
manually placed in the LEC. The size expected (msz) must be specifief or the bay that is set
up for the size being loaded. May require an "ale resume"
The "mload <msz>" command loads a plate of the given main scan size. This is the
plate height around the drum (msz, in millimetres).
The firmware verifies that the plate is the correct height by loading the plate
in three steps:
- the leading edge of the plate is clamped and the plate is wound onto the drum
until the trailing edge of the plate is covering the Bottom optical sensor on the
load ramp, but not the Top sensor. ( as determined by nvs parameter al soff and the msz ).
If it is uncovered before
this move is complete, then the plate is too small and the plate is unwound.
- if the plate is neither too large or too small, the drum is moved to the
trailing edge position and the trailing edge clamps are applied.
- then, the edge detect position in "plate_loc d" is reset if the plate size is
different that what was last on the drum.
