Moving the Pod to a Safe Roving Height
Use Move Z-Max in Advanced Manual Control to move the pod to its highest configured height. This
helps to avoid collisions when moving the pod around the deck manually.
NOTE The possibility of collisions is not completely eliminated by this command; for example, if the gripper
is extended and holding a microplate, and the pod is moved over a tip box on a tiploader, a collision could
occur.
