6.4.3 Pipetting Arm X-Alignment
Overview:
The Pipetting Arm and Channels can be adjusted using Channel Adjustment Tool as
Reference and Adjustment Macro Program (Service Software). Adjustment has to
be done by hand - the Adjustment Macro Program only provides measurement
values and helps you to align the Pipetting arm.
Note: The Adjustment may be performed once the Pipetting Channels are
preadjusted and the Pipetting Arm Z-Alignment is performed.

first run decide if any corrective Action must take place.
