ALE: remove plate from picker

Applies to:

Service Information:

3230/3244 Trendsetter Autoloader: A plate has been detected on the picker, and must be removed. This could occur during initialization, or at the start of a pick command, or "time picker" command.

For the 3230/3244 Trendsetter Autoloader, this error may occur in the case of an incorrect vaccuum reading. Use the "picker" command to display the vacuum reading. It should be around 100 with no plate. Check the vacuum threshold level ("set al pvt") to make sure it is above the no-plate level. Also check the ADC offset value ("set sat aoff 4") to make sure it is a positive number.

Platesetter_3244: This error is reported if the picker vacuum is detected above PVT during initialization.

Platesetter_3244: This error is reported if during clearing after an error the picker vacuum is detected above PVT , or there is still a metal plate detected on the picker or the "plate_loc p status" is not 0.
