High Throughput Mode
The system will enter High Throughput Mode if Prep or Expose is activated 8 or more times within 5 min-
utes. When in this mode, the rotor will remain engaged for 90 seconds after the Prep or Exposure is fin-
ished. The High Throughput Mode will remain active until the Prep and Expose rate has decreased to less
than 5 within 5 minutes. This mode allows rapid exposures for extended periods by reducing the amount
of tube heating due to Rotor On/Off cycling. All other exposure and acquisition functions remain the
same.
Mouse Controls
