Save Results to Disk. Select this checkbox to automatically store the
results of the acoustic survey in the client PC data directory (C:\Program
Files\Labcyte\Medman\Data). Also see File | Save on page 5-42.

option allows the Echo liquid handler to use a source plate without
detecting its presence with the source plate sensor.
