Calculate Master Offsets
This screen-prompted routine identifies and records a Safe-Z Height for dispensing head travel, the XYZ
locations of the purge and weigh stations, calibrates the camera-to-needle offset and the probe-to-needle
offset. CMO also calibrates the camera crosshair to a known location.
This routine is performed when the dispensing system is initially installed and configured. Those values
and settings are recorded in FmNT. You can run this routine again at any time to insure dispensing
accuracy or reflect hardware changes. You can choose to use the pre-recorded values during the routine.

• initial system setup (re-installation of dispensing system)
• re-initialization or re-installation of system software
• software update
• valve change (not syringe)
• camera change or location adjustment

• Needle Sensor change or location adjustment
• Height Sensor change or location adjustment
