• The main screen is “Protocol #1, Name.” The default location of the cursor is
always under the protocol number “1.” Select any protocol by pressing the
up and down arrow keys to display the number of the desired protocol.
• The START key begins the selected protocol.
• The STOP key pauses the protocol. Pressing the STOP key a second time
cancels the protocol in progress, and pressing it a third time resets the
instrument to start another protocol.
• The EDIT key switches the display to “edit mode”, in which protocol steps
can be programmed. Pressing the EDIT key in edit mode toggles between
the identification with general settings for all steps and the settings in the
three first protocol steps.
The EDIT key also allows the estimated run time remaining to be viewed
while the unit is operating.
• The up arrow key increases the value of the selected field or digit, and the
down arrow key decreases the value of the selected field or digit.
Exceptions when the cursor is positioned to the left under the Step number
S1-S9,
down arrow change the display to the next group of three protocol
steps. Up arrow change to the previous group of three protocol steps.

VhS, VhT, and Hrs.

screen to the left wraps the cursor either to the left end of the next line or to
the left end of the top row.
• The right arrow key moves the cursor to the right. Moving the cursor off the
screen to the right repositions the cursor at the left of the next row or wraps
the cursor to the left end of the top row.
