84RA Autoloading and Autorotation Pickup Assembly

The 84RA autoloading and autorotation pickup assembly for the Mesa instruments adds dramatic new functionality.  There is no longer a need for the operator to manually insert the wafer into the tool when requested by the software and remove it when the measurement is complete.  Rather the sample is loaded onto a pneumatically-controlled tray which moves the sample in and out of the measurement position under computer control.

Even more significantly, the operator no longer has to manually rotate the sample when positioning to the Hard or Easy axis, or to flatten the trace based on watching the loop display.  All rotation of the sample is done precisely under computer control, avoiding potential operator error and improving overall measurement accuracy.
