About configuring the shelves

About this topic

This topic describes the configuration settings and options for the Vertical Pipetting Station shelves.

IMPORTANT The shelf configuration settings are saved with the profile.

Shelf configuration settings

In Vertical Pipetting Station Diagnostics, the Configuration page contains settings that specify the shelf type and function. Do not change the shelf configuration from a standard shelf unless you add an accessory that requires configuration or if you remove a shelf.

 

Toggling the shelves during initialization

Moving a shelf in and out (toggling the shelf) can reduce friction if the shelf has not been used recently. Toggling a shelf is also useful to ensure any Pump Module tubing is attached properly. You can configure a shelf to toggle automatically after homing during initialization.

To automatically toggle shelves during initialization:

1	On the Vertical Pipetting Station Diagnostics Profiles page, select the profile that you want to change.

2	On the Configuration page, select the check boxes of the shelves under Toggle Shelf on Initialization.

3	On the Profiles page, click Update this profile.
