Running a Method
When the “Run” button is green, the selected method may be started. Click the “
Run
” button to start. The instrument will
verify that water level is appropriate for the specified for the method, and begin the treatment.
Once a method starts, if the bath temperature rises beyond the user specified
limit, your system finishes the acoustic treatment of the current row of the
plate, then pauses, and automatically resumes treating the remaining rows
when the temperature is within limits, with no operator intervention required.
As the method runs, the graphic for the row under treatment flashes green,
and the actual average incident power and temperature data are displayed, as
shown.
