Select Calibrate and click Start.

During the calibration teach process, the picker moves to the home position, which is X-Y
coordinate position 0,0. Then, for each rack of each module, the picker moves to a magazine
at the top and one at the bottom and stores those positions in coordinates relative to the 0,0
position. Teach results appear in the Results area when the process completes. If the calibration
teach process completes successfully, the Teach window might close automatically.

To disable or enable automatic inventory after a calibration teach, use the Physical Library command
on the Setup menu.

Working with verification tests

A collection of verification tests are available to assist you or a customer service engineer (CSE)
in determining whether the library is properly installed, configured, and operational. Running the
tests is an important part of ensuring that the system is working correctly. See

“Verification test

functions” (page 142)

.

NOTE:

Because resolving an issue often involves complex technical procedures, such as removing

and replacing FRUs, and because verification tests often require preparation and trained
interpretation of results, it is recommended that a CSE perform the tests.

The following types of verification tests are available:

Installation verification tests

Partial system tests

FRU operation tests

Custom tests

The verification tests provide the following:

Fully automated tests

Tests to determine marginality of installation

Detailed problem analysis

Full system tests or individual field replaceable unit (FRU) tests

Logs of installation and configuration tests

Graphical reports showing passed, marginal, and failed results

No affect to integrity of data

To perform these tests, the picker assembly must be ready and functional, and the library must be
powered on. In addition, the library must be in an offline state, and at least one scratch tape must
be inserted in the I/E station.
