  • after initialisation 96-head dispensing drive is 215.92
  • after tip pickup -> ALWAYS: 218.19
  • after drop tip -> ALWAYS MOVES 215.9 UP !
  • empty=True does move the 96-head piston all the way to vol=0 !
  • IF slow 96-head dispensing drive flow_rate (~10 uL/sec) is chosen, vol=-25 can be reached
