RE: Sorting Question --- look Ma, no satellites!!!

Bob,

	FYI - we have often had to "tune" our drop drives (both standard
and 'High Speed') by also adding/changing the impedence (resistors) from the
drive output to the sort head. If the device gets over driven it seems the
satellite droplet formation goes up in a nonlinear manner. The most stable
and clean drop formation is with a higher drive level out, but with a good
resistor or two in line. Since we're talking about different instruments, the
actual values in use probably won't help much, but I thought it worth
mentioning.

				Regards,

				Joe
