Motion Calibration
Two Motion calibrations are available:
l Home Calibration
l Register Calibration
Home Calibration
The Home button moves each Echo stage (destination plate gripper stage, source plate gripper stage, and acoustic transducer) to
the limits of its travel (X, Y, Z, or theta direction, depending on the component) to establish its absolute position.
l Destination plate gripper stage: X (left/right), Y (front/rear), Z (up/down), and theta (plate rotation).
l Source plate gripper stage: Y (front/rear).
l Acoustic transducer: X (left/right), Y (front/rear), and Z (up/down).
During the homing procedure the destination plate gripper stage extends outside of the Echo Liquid Handler to rotate safely.

After homing its stages, the Echo controller knows the absolute position of each stage.
Register Calibration
The Register button calibrates the well position for the selected source plate and updates the Labware database. This calibration
is essential to position the acoustic transducer under the well center.
Note: Normally the register calibration will not need to be performed by a user. However, it can be useful during certain
repair, diagnostic, or recovery procedures. Perform the register calibration only as directed by Labcyte personnel.
If register calibration is required, use the following procedure:
