● Z-Drop determines the distance you would like MANTIS to move down into
each well before dispensing (default is zero).
● Min SD Pump determines the minimum enforced number of Small
Diaphragm pumps (default is zero). This forces the MANTIS to use the Small
Diaphragm for a larger portion of the dispense, if possible.
