Use the cursor keys above the keyboard to switch between program steps. The
number of the currently activated step is displayed on a blue background in the ta-
ble at the top of the screen.
Touch the "
Temperature
" input field and enter a temperature [
°C
].
Touch the "
Hold time
" input field and enter a time [h:mm:ss]. To program a pause
step press
.
To program a loop, touch the "
Go To
" input field and enter the step number to
which the program should return. Then touch the "
Cycles
" input field and enter how
often the loop should be repeated.
To reduce or increase the annealing temperature from step to step within a loop,
press
∆T
and set a negative or positive temperature increment.
To reduce or increase the hold time from step to step within a loop, press
∆t
and
set a time increment.
To adjust the heating rate, press
∆R
and enter a value between 0.1°C and max. You
can accept the heating rate for all steps in the program by activating the [
Apply
heating/cooling rate to all steps
] checkbox.
(For gradient-capable devices only) To program a gradient, press Grad. On the next
screen you can choose between standard [
Std.
] and linear gradient programming
[
Lin.
]. For standard programming enter a temperature for both the first and last
row in the sample block. For linear programming enter the primer annealing tem-
perature and set a temperature increment. The gradient curve is displayed graph-
ically. Press
to confirm your entries.
Press
on the screen for editing program steps to accept the settings. The soft-
ware leaves the screen and opens the spreadsheet or graphical program display.
Alternatively, individual program parameters for a step can also be edited. To do
this, in the spreadsheet view press directly on the cell for the parameter in the pro-
gram table which you want to edit. In the graphical view press on the desired pa-
rameter edit field. Program options (loops, temperature and time increment, as
well as heating and cooling rate) must be activated using the button to the left of
the graphical display.
To insert a program step, select a step and press [
Insert
]. The screen for editing
program steps opens. Enter the desired parameters and confirm the settings by
pressing
.
To delete a program step, select it and press [
Delete
].
Incubation at 15°C rather than 4°C at the end of a run increased the device's life time.
When all the parameters for all steps have been entered, confirm the settings on
the programming screen with [
Done
]. The software opens the screen for copying
and storing programs.
