Command: picker


Description:

Moves picker and separator actuators, controls picker vacuum and load table air knives, locks and unlocks plate cover, and displays sensor and vacuum status.

Use with no parameters to display the sensor and vacuum status. Any sensors which are masked off are listed as "disabled".

The optional "w" parameter moves the specified actuator and then waits for either the associated sensor to trip or the timeout to expire. If the sensor is NOT masked off and the timeout expires before the sensor trips, a timeout message will be returned (otherwise "Command Complete" is returned). Note that the monitor is locked out for the duration of the command if the "w" parameter is used.
