Checking Position Alignment

The 215 Setup Utility (Adjust XY tab), described in
Section 3, allows you to test whether the liquid
handler is properly aligned and to make minor
adjustments to the X-axis and Y-axis offsets if
needed. You may need to use the options under
this tab if the probe is not accessing the injection
port of the injection module installed or the vessels
in the installed racks. This tab is described below.
The X offset and Y offset text boxes display the
current offsets stored in the instrument's memory.
To determine if the probe(s) need(s) to be adjusted
in the X- or Y-direction select the model of the
injection module that is on your Quad-Z (probably
an 849) or select other for a user-defined test point.
The default XY coordinates are shown next to the
model number below.
model 819:
X-coordinate: 544.0 mm

If the model 819 is not installed next to the right
support use the following coordinates:
X-coordinate: 351.1 mm
