SOP 10: Home the Instrument when Finished

Since this is a multiuser based instrument, we want to be respectful of all the users that come into the lab. Part of this would be leaving the area neat and tidy for the next user; each user is responsible for their mess. Part of this would be leaving the stage in a safe position while not in use. Every user is asked to leave the instrument the same way.

When finished, while your data is copying to your X-Drive or box.psu.edu drive, please Home the stage.
