Use the
←
and
→
arrows to choose one of the fields which indicate hours, minutes
and day of the week of the program completion.
Use the
+
and
-
keys to change the time and date that the program is to end. The
computer will automatically update the total processing time, the date of completion
and the fields that indicate the amount of the delay expressed in days, hours and
minutes. The maximum delay is 7 days.
It is not possible to set an hour or a day of the week less than the starting time
added to the duration of the process. As noted above, any time spent in this menu
will decrement the delay (if any) or increment the end time if the delay is zero, until
you close the menu.
Any delay programmed will extend the length of time specimens remain in the first
reagent.

A convenient feature of the ATP
is that it will automatically remember when a
program is to be completed. The computer stores the hour and/or day you have
chosen for the process to be completed. The next time you choose the same
program, the computer will indicate the same hour and /or day of completion. Any
delay necessary to end the process at the predetermined hour and/or day is
automatically calculated and displayed in the appropriate display field.
•
To reset the delay, press
CLEAN
. The delay will be cancelled and the delay
memory will be erased. The next time the program is started, there will be no
delay.
•
In addition to any special programs, 2 STANDARD programs are
recommended:
o
Daily -
The first time you start the
Daily
program, set only the time of
completion (e.g.: 7.30am). After that, any time you select the
Daily
program it will, by default, propose to end automatically the following
day at 7.30am.
o
Weekend -
The first time you start the
Weekend
program, set the
completion time and day of the week (e.g.: 7.30am of Monday). The
Weekend
program will end automatically on the following Monday at
7.30, again, unless you press the “CLEAN” button and then set a new
delay and end time.
