Optional X-Y Offset
The normal sample position is from the center of the well. When using flat bottom plates, however, the vortexing
action of the shaker causes sample to accumulate on the edges of the well so it becomes necessary to sample from
the side or corner of the well. The optional X-Y offset on a plate model makes this possible.
To callibrate an X-Y offset for a flat-bottom plate, check the Create Offset Position check box within the Horizontal
Movement controls at the appropriate place in the Plate Model Mapping or Calibration wizard. Then use the
Horizontal Movement controls to set the required offset.
No XY-Offset: probe samples from center XY-Offset: probe samples from edge
