Hint: To determine coordinates, spot a sample plate
with standard, load the plate, start the laser, observe
where the laser strikes the sample position, move the
sample position under the laser, and note the relative

extension, include the file name and extension in
double-quotes in the Save File dialog box, for example
“4POINT.SP”.
Figure 6-18 is a sample search pattern file.

NOTE: If you specify X,Y coordinates in steps instead of
microns, include Units=1 as the first line in the .SP file.
