Fig. 23
In the sectioning mode the user can select between STEP function (step-by-
step specimen feed) and continuous specimen feed.
When the continuous feed is selected, the coarse feed buttons have the
same functions as in the trimming mode. The STEP function is useful for
careful step-by-step approximation of the specimen towards the knife.
How to activate the STEP function:
• Switch the instrument on while holding the + button on the control panel.
(Likewise, to deactivate switch the instrument on while pressing the -
button.) While the instrument is initializing, hold the
+
button until the
software version number is no longer displayed.
• Press the TRIM/SECT button and select the sectioning mode (LED SECT lit).
• When pressing the slow coarse feed button ( → "Fig. 23- 2 ") or ( → "Fig. 23- 4 ")
for slow-speed coarse feed, a defined, incremental feed takes place (STEP)
at the value indicated on the display in the respective direction (single
step).
• By short activation of the fast coarse feed buttons, a single step is also
effected in the appropriate direction.
• Longer activation of the fast coarse feed button (
→
"Fig. 23- 1 ") or (
→
"Fig.
23- 3 ") effects a repeated feed motion for as long as the button is pressed.
