Gimbal Adjustment
Overview
The Gimbal Adjustment function allows you to manually adjust the position and the
tilt of the nozzle stage so that the sample stream is properly aligned with the system
optics. The alignment is accomplished by means of the three gimbal knobs located
on the nozzle stage. When the nozzle is aligned properly, unsorted sample stream
should hit the waste hole in the sort chamber.
