async STAR.head96_dispensing_drive_and_squeezer_driver_initialize(squeezer_speed: float = 15.0, squeezer_acceleration: float = 62.0, squeezer_current_limit: int = 15, dispensing_drive_current_limit: int = 7)#

Initialize 96-head’s dispensing drive AND squeezer drive

This command…

  • drops any tips that might be on the channel (in place, without moving to trash!)

  • moves the dispense drive to volume position 215.92 uL (after tip pickup it will be at 218.19 uL)

Parameters:

  • squeezer_speed (float) – Speed of the movement (mm/sec). Default is 15.0 mm/sec.

  • squeezer_acceleration (float) – Acceleration of the movement (mm/sec**2). Default is 62.0 mm/sec**2.

  • squeezer_current_limit (int) – Current limit for the squeezer drive (1-15). Default is 15.

  • dispensing_drive_current_limit (int) – Current limit for the dispensing drive (1-15). Default is 7.
