5.3 Setting the Operating Parameters
5. Operation
The process of adjusting the operational parameters is simple and direct.
When the system is "ON" and in the idle mode (that is, neither
RUNNING
nor in a
SETUP
mode),
the operator may display and check the setup parameters by pressing the
MENU
key.
If the
ENTER
key is pressed, the selected parameter is stored in the system.
Pressing the
PAUSE/STOP
key allows the operator to exit the setup menu without changing the
parameter currently being displayed.
Whenever a new setting is made, it will take effect immediately.
Furthermore, since all settings are saved in memory, it will automatically be used the next time
the system is powered up.
The system returns to its idle mode whenever a new setting is entered, or whenever the user
exits the setup menu by pressing the
PAUSE/STOP
key.
The amount of time that the slides are immersed at each station
can be varied from 2 to 300 seconds.
• When the
PLUS
or
MINUS
key is pressed ('
+
' or '
–
'), the staining
time is altered in:
one second at a time in a range from 2 to 30 seconds,
five seconds at a time in a range from 30 to 60 seconds,
ten seconds at a time in a range from 60 to 300 seconds.
• After
ENTER
is pressed, the new processing time is activated,
and this time is stored for future use.
