Teach 3 Circumference Points is used to teach the location of an object that does not
have an easily identifiable center, like the Weigh Station, for example.

Center locationCenter location
Center location is the current X,Y,Z coordinates for the Purge Station.
> Needle to height sense Z offset
Needle to height sense Z offset Needle to height sense Z offset
Needle to height sense Z offset is a positive or negative number, which determines
how deep the needle descends into the purge boot. The number is relative to
the height sense taken after teaching the center location. The height sense is
taken on the Purge Station lid, so a positive offset number means that the
needle will stop that much above the Purge Station lid. A negative number
means that the needle will descend that much deeper into the purge boot.

an easily definable center.
