Home Phase
Use the Home Phase tab to display the current X-
and Y-phase of the instrument.
Clicking Start causes the liquid handler to perform
the phase procedure. This procedure consists of the
liquid handler homing itself 10 times.
The liquid handler finds out where home is located
by “feeling” for the back and left walls of the unit.
The liquid handler expects to find these walls in the
same place each time. If it does not, you will get an
error. If this error was caused by an obstruction,
just clear the obstruction and try again. If the
problem does not clear or if a change is made to the
mechanics, you will probably need to repeat this
option to find the true home location.
Once the process completes, the spreadsheet
displays the values generated from each phase
procedure.
