Simulated Configuration –
This option is only active when the communications port (see
Communications…, below) is set to <none>, forcing SOLOSoft into Simulate
Mode. This allows the user to try out different SOLO configurations, such as
switching between ‘P’, ‘D’, ‘P8’ and ‘P12’ syringe configurations, changing
syringe volume, and switching from Landscape to Portrait layout:
System Liquid (not applicable to simulation mode)
a. ‘P’ Syringe Type (Z-axis mounted syringe) –
This option allow the user to move the syringe piston Up (Aspirate) or
Down (Dispense) where only the syringe piston moves, not the robot axes:
Aspirate – the user can enter a volume (uL) , or by leaving the volume at
“FILL”, run the syringe piston all the way to the top of its stroke.
Dispense - the user can enter a volume (uL) , or by leaving the
volume at “EMPTY”, completely empty the syringe by running the
syringe piston all the way to the bottom of its stroke.
