This window allows you to select whether a Gilson liquid handler is connected or not. In addition,
you can define here the liquid position, i.e. how deep the measuring head should move into the
well before performing resistance measurement or electrode voltage offset correction. Finally,
you can define here the position of the initial movement towards the oocyte to start the
impalement process. The default value of 800 μm means that the electrode tips move to a position
~800 μm above the bottom of the well. If the oocyte would have a diameter of 1.2 mm, it would
mean that the glass electrodes would be moved 400 μm deep into the oocyte.
