Determining the optimum Orientation sensor offset
About this topic
Before starting this procedure, make sure you are familiar with the workflow in
“Overview for setting sensor thresholds” on page 100
Procedure
To determine the optimum Orientation sensor offset:
1
On the
Controls
page at
Stacker 1
, click
Downstack from Stacker
.
2
On the
Labware
tab, verify that the
Orientation sensor offset
box contains the initial
offset value you want to use for the selected labware.
If you have not already done so, follow these steps to determine the initial value for
the Orientation sensor offset:
a
Determine the midpoint height (mm) of the microplate. To do this, measure
from the top of the microplate skirt to the top of the microplate and divide by 2.
b
Measure the height (mm) of the microplate skirt.
c
Add the values from step a and step b.
