3.3.3 Remote Control 

This page provides an interface which allows  the user to control the analyzer directly. 
The user can navigate through all software menus, start and stop the analyzer, change 
settings etc. 

To take control of the analyzer, press the 

“Connect”

 button. You will then be presented 

with the Analysis Data Screen. Operators can use the 6 navigation buttons below the 
screen to operate the BioTector in the same way they would use the physical keypad.
