Editing an Advanced Program
Highlighting and Selecting Program Steps
Several important factors determine step selection:
•
The insertion point for new steps is AFTER the step highlighted in the pro-
gram listing. This highlighting is accomplished with a SINGLE click.
•
Double clicking on a program step will immediately open the appropriate
step-editing window for the highlighted step. The windows for editing are the
same as those for step creation.
•
Selection can also be done via the left mouse button.
In order to insert or edit steps, the user of the DNA Engine Tetrad 2 cycler
should become familiar with these conventions. By default in this manual, we
use the single mouse click to highlight a step, and a double click to select it.
Deleting a Step
The <Delete Step> button will allow us to delete a program step. To begin the process
of changing step 3 of our advanced program, ADV#1, into a temperature step:
•
Highlight step 3 by positioning the pointer over the first line of step three
and clicking once.
•
Select <Delete Step>.
The gradient step will be deleted and the following steps renumbered. For
example, the goto step, previously step 4, will become step 3.
