 Caution: 

With the Aspec XL autosampler, the Z coordinates vary, depending on the needle type used. Check the settings, using a non-fixed needle, before using the Aspec XL for standard operation. Incorrect settings may damage the Aspec XL hardware. The following needle has been tested: Constricting needle, 183 mm stroke (Gilson reference nos. 460969 and 460973) (needle length 220 mm). When you use this needle for the ASPECXL.gty tray file, enter 88.7 mm for the Z coordinate.
