Tip Alignment Check Command
Before starting a script which contains the Tip Alignment Check command, you
must place the Te-PS Sensor plate on one of the sites of the Te-PS Carrier. Check
that the sensor plate is properly connected to the pipetting instrument using the
supplied cable.
In addition, you must put the Te-PS Sensor plate at the same grid and site position
in Freedom EVOware’s Worktable Editor.
If necessary, the Tip Alignment Check command can also be used to check the tip
alignment with other carrier and labware types. The test should then be carried
out with the Te-PS Sensor plate placed on the same carrier which will be used for
pipetting. However, due to the mechanical design and other factors, the Te-PS
Carrier can achieve a higher alignment accuracy than conventional carrier types.

Te-PS Sensor plate position
Specify the location of the Te-PS Sensor plate by clicking on the sensor plate
in the Worktable Editor.
Script aborts if misalignment is more than ...
Specify a maximum value in mm for tip misalignment above which the script
should be aborted. The maximum allowed misalignment depends on the
radius and shape of the wells in the labware that you are using. It should be
less than well radius - tip radius. For 1536-well labware, an appropriate value
for this parameter is 0.5 mm.
If tip misalignment exceeds the specified value, the instrument must be recalibrated
by authorized personnel using the Setup & Service software. See
1.2 “Reference Documents”, 1-3 for information on this software.
