The DNA Engine Tetrad
®
cycler comes with several preprogrammed thermal cycling
protocols. These protocols are listed in Appendix C. This chapter describes how to
create your own protocols, while the next chapter describes how to modify both the
preprogrammed protocols and any you create yourself. In this chapter, we revisit the
setup of the front panel, specifically those items used in program input. We describe the
conventions used, as well as the various programming steps and what they accomplish.
We make suggestions regarding the translation of a cycle sequencing protocol into a
Tetrad
™
2 program. Finally, we use a cycle-sequencing example to illustrate the pro-
gramming process step by step.
This manual documents version 4.00 of the
DNA Engine Tetrad 2 front-end software.
Front Panel Setup
The various components of the DNA Engine Tetrad 2 cycler’s control panel (see figure 2-2)
allow the operator to enter, navigate, and manipulate programs. These programs are nec-
essary to control the various dynamic capabilities of the DNA Engine Tetrad 2 cycler.
Note:
Chapter 4 covers the basic operation of the DNA Engine Tetrad 2 cycler. Please read
Chapter 4 for a complete description of the control panel and power-up procedures.
Let’s review. The control panel components include:
Display Screen
This is a 1/4 VGA display screen, approximately 10 cm x 12.5 cm, located at the left side of
the control panel. It displays all DNA Engine Tetrad 2 cycler operating parameters, and can
be controlled by the cursor buttons, external mouse, and the numeric keypad.
Navigation Keys
There are four navigation keys located to the right of the display screen. They can be
used to navigate through various menu and selection items.
The use of these keys is optional as ALL screen selections can be done using the
external mouse device.
The
next/back
keys are primarily used to move through all available buttons or
options in any given window. The
left/right
keys are used to navigate through menu
bars.
