-        The offset is applied to any labware of this type (same ``loadName``, ``namespace``, and
-        ``version``) in the location of this labware at the time ``set_offset`` is called. Calling
-        this function adds a labware offset for the definition and location pair. That means
-
-        - You should call this function again with an offset after you move this labware to set the
-          offset in the new location
-        - You cannot call this function if the labware is currently loaded ``OFF_DECK``
-        - If you call this function when the labware is in a specific place, and later replace it with
-          a different instance of the same labware in the same place, the offset will also apply to
-          this new labware.
