pylabrobot.azenta.fluidx.intellixcap96.FluidXIntelliXcap96.retry_decap

async FluidXIntelliXcap96.retry_decap(timeout: float = 60.0) → None

Force one more decap stroke on tubes that a completed decap left capped.

Only useful with light curtain error detection off. With detection on the instrument sees the tubes that failed to decap and retries inside decap() by itself, up to the profile’s decap retry limit, so there is nothing left to force. With detection off it cannot see them, ends the stroke as successful, and this is the only way to ask for another attempt: decap() refuses while caps are held. set_error_detection_enabled() controls detection.

The command list documents only that this command is used “after a successful Decap” and “requires lightcurtain OFF”. That those are the same condition is inferred from the automatic-retry and error-detection commands rather than stated by the vendor. The instrument finishes in StatusRECAP because it is still holding the caps for a subsequent recap().

Parameters:

timeout (float)

Return type:

None
