GENIE® HT LOGIN SCREEN

If users are set up on the instrument and a log in is required, the next screen will be a login
screen. Log in using your user login and password.

HOME SCREEN

The next screen will be the home screen. This gives an overview of the status and temperature
of all of the blocks, and their current position in their runs. The menu to the right gives access
to the soft power switch, starting a run, accessing and viewing old log files, settings and the
data and time.
