Looks through the CompatibleAdapters to determine if an adapter can be used to fit the sample on the instrument 1:

Looks through the CompatibleAdapters to determine if an adapter can be used to fit the sample on the instrument 2:

Looks through the CompatibleAdapters to determine if an adapter can be used to fit the sample on the instrument 3:

Returns a boolean that indicates if there is a position on the instrument that can fit the given sample:

CompatibleFootprintQ is listable:

Additional Examples (3)

CompatibleFootprintQ can check Model[Container]s in addition to instruments:

Both the Locations and the containers can be pooled:

Both the specified the pooled options for each of the pooled locations and containers:

Options (9)

ExactMatch (2)

When ExactMatch->True, an exact match between the container's dimensions and the model's position's dimensions is evaluated, given the set Tolerance allowed:

When ExactMatch->False, an exact match between the container's dimensions and the model's position's dimensions is evaluated, given the set Tolerance allowed:

FlattenOutput (1)

Returns a lists of list results when FlattenOutput->False, regardless how many input containers are specified:

MinWidth (2)

When there is a MinWidth for an instrument (spacing required between roller pins), it can be specified using the MinWidth option:

Position (2)

When Position->All, all positions in the instrument will be considered when trying to determine compatibility of the sample:

When Position is set to a specific position name, only that name will be considered during compaitibility determination:

Tolerance (2)

Tolerance controls the tolerance between the measurement of the container and of the instrument's position. Since measurement is never perfect, this defaults to .5 Centimeters:

PositionNotFound (1)

When Position is set to a specific position name, if that position name doesn't appear in the instrument's list of positions an error is thrown:
