You can skip the first entries (code and rack type) with the cursor

>rack definitions 2
work position 125 mm

Because you have already positioned the needle at the desired

height, you can accept the current lift position directly by pressing

. Of course the work position can be entered manually or

the value that has automatically been accepted can be modified

later. Lift positions are given in millimeters (0…125 mm), measured

from the uppermost limit (rest position) of the lift. Consider during

the input of the working position that with sample tubes sealed with

PE caps the work position must be set to 125 mm, since otherwise a

vacuum can develop in the sample tube and the sample will not be

aspirated correctly.
