Initialize pipetting channels

Initialize pipetting channels (discard tips)

Parameters:
  • x_positions (List[int]) – X-Position [0.1mm] (discard position). Must be between 0 and 25000. Default 0.

  • y_positions (List[int]) – y-Position [0.1mm] (discard position). Must be between 0 and 6500. Default 0.

  • begin_of_tip_deposit_process (int) – Begin of tip deposit process (Z-discard range) [0.1mm]. Must be between 0 and 3600. Default 0.

  • end_of_tip_deposit_process (int) – End of tip deposit process (Z-discard range) [0.1mm]. Must be between 0 and 3600. Default 0.

  • z-position_at_end_of_a_command – Z-Position at end of a command [0.1mm]. Must be between 0 and 3600. Default 3600.

  • tip_pattern (List[bool]) – Tip pattern ( channels involved). Default True.

  • tip_type (int) – Tip type (recommended is index of longest tip see command ‘TT’) [0.1mm]. Must be between 0 and 99. Default 16.

  • discarding_method (int) – discarding method. 0 = place & shift (tp/ tz = tip cone end height), 1 = drop (no shift) (tp/ tz = stop disk height). Must be between 0 and 1. Default 1.

  • z_position_at_end_of_a_command (int)
