If at any point during a test the DC power cable to one of these devices becomes unplugged, ANY-maze will lose connection to the device and the test will be aborted. A warning message will be test will lose syringe does not contain enough liquid to dispense, it may stall - that's when ANY-maze is still trying to run the pump, but it's reached the end of its travel. When this happens, a warning will be generated.
