This may work for one plate. However, we want the protocol to repeat the picking and replace plate steps
multiple times. We can place the last three items in a loop. We only want to run the pick step if there are
plates in the source and target nests of the RapidPick.
To check that in the loop, enter the following statement in the "Loop While..." textbox:
(Plates.PlateExists("RapidPick.Target_DeepWell") = 1) And
(Plates.PlateExists("RapidPick.Source_Shallow")=1)
If there are not, then we know that we are either out of source plates or out of target plates. At this point,
we must end the loop and initiate a cleanup routine, as we know we are at the end of the protocol.
