Changing the Instrument's Settings
About the Onboard Settings
The instrument's onboard settings dictate its behavior. Certain settings, like Plate
Clearance, can improve performance. Other settings are critical to its performance.
For example, the manifold setting must match the installed manifold type.
LHC users: do not confuse the LHC's Target Instrument Settings assigned to each
protocol with the onboard settings! Review the Help topic: LHC Protocols Explained to learn
the distinctions.

Touch screen: Select Instrument>General
Select the fill pattern: by column or row for processing 384- and 1536-well plates.

fill it. Column-wise dispensing fills each column before moving to the next. Row-
