X and Y Coordinates of the position center in reference to the lower left corner
of the sample plate. To determine the coordinates to enter in the .PLT
file, display the Sample View (see Figure 4-9 on page 4-31) and
record the Absolute X, Absolute Y (logical coordinates) pairs for each
position specified. See “Logical Coordinates on Plate View” on
page 3-61 for information on displaying logical coordinates.
NOTE: On a standard 100-well plate, position 91 is located at
X=1587.5, Y=1587.5, and corresponding to the lower left of the
sample plate.
For optimum mass accuracy, do not specify coordinates on the outer
edges of a plate.
The following coordinates correspond to the corner positions that
define the area of the sample plate that provides optimum mass
accuracy (illustrated in Figure 3-11 on page 3-56):
• Absolute X=6667.5, Absolute Y=42227.5—Top left (corresponds
to position 1)
• Absolute X=42227.5, Absolute Y=42227.5—Top right
• Absolute X=6667.5, Absolute Y=6667.5—Bottom left
• Absolute X=42227.5, Absolute Y=6667.5—Bottom right
NOTE: Sample plate alignment for custom plate types (.PLT files that
you create) requires sample spots on any four corner positions. You
can use any four corner positions, but for maximum mass accuracy,
do not use positions outside the area defined by the coordinates
above.
Position
name
Displayed in the Active Position list in the Sample View. Optional.
NOTE: If you do not specify a position name in the file, the position
number is displayed. The first sample in the .PLT file is considered
sample 1. The Nth sample in the .PLT file is considered sample N.
