Encountering an error message like "EVO_EVO_013_230: Te-Motion error" on your channel/cable assembly can be frustrating, especially when it prevents you from using the instrument. This error often appears to happen randomly, sometimes during initialization or in the middle of a script, particularly when the system is aspirating, dispensing, or picking up a Diti tip. While a simple restart might clear the error temporarily, it often returns and eventually becomes permanent.
