For AboveVial mode the default needle height value considers a
distance of 2 mm between the height of the vial and the needle tip to
ensure no needle obstruction can happen.
For the use of well plates in AboveVial mode the plate height must be
configured into the system manually. For details of needle positioning
mode settings, refer to the
Chromeleon Help.
