'''Moving the winches'''
 
When moving the winches ensure that the entire system is powered down. Unplugging the encoder cables with any power running through the system will cause a "drive error" upon power up. If a drive error does occur it can be reset by either querying the drive and enabling reset or enabling "reset drive" via the "devices" function.
 
Be careful of the counterweight lines while moving, they are easily trapped and damaged
