Test the Calibration

You must test all calibration positions to verify calibration is correct.

1. Select Tools > Calibration.
2. Select all positions that will be used during the automation run.
3. Select Test. The automation system will proceed through a series of steps ensuring that all

calibration settings work together.

Fig. 18. Calibrate the CFX Systems.

Gripper fingers are equal distance from
each of the notches on the plate.

Gripper assembly overhangs the plate
by equal amounts on both sides.

6. The plate handler will pick up the plate, place it in rack 1 and then return the plate to the

CFX System. Confirm that the plate transitions smoothly between all positions.

Once all positions are calibrated, select Save. The application will automatically restart and
load the saved calibration. Select Cancel to cancel any modifications that were made to the
calibration and restore the previously set calibration values.
