Labcyte Echo 520 - Power Calibration

Echo Liquid Handler Software 5-47
5.4.2 Power calibration
Proper acoustic droplet ejection relies on a calibrated RF energy source.
Environmental temperature changes can affect the characteristics of the
Echo RF energy pulses. Power calibration is performed automatically by the
Echo liquid handler as part of each liquid transfer protocol.
Note: Normally a manual power calibration will not need to be
performed by a user. However, it can be useful during certain repair,
diagnostic, or recovery procedures. Perform power calibration only as
directed by Labcyte personnel.
If manual power calibration is required, use the following procedure:
1. On the CALIBRATION tab, click the CALIBRATE button in the POWER
section.
The CALIBRATE POWER dialog box will open.
