In multiple dispenser installations, specifies the dispenser (called Needle Number) to execute the commands
that follow this command. Currently up to four dispensers can be installed, so the Needle Number parameter
can be 1–4.

down menu
Causes the system to perform a Needle XY Adjust (check the camera-to-tip offset) and, based on the result,
to take action as specified by the parameter settings.
NOTE:
To perform the Needle XY adjust, the robot moves the dispensing tip to the Set Needle position and
dispenses a dot of fluid, then moves the camera over the fluid dot and compares the alignment of the dot
with the corresponding mark image saved in the Mark Library. The Set Needle position and mark image
were established during the Robot Initial Setup process.
