Automatic operation – Slice Window Mode
Once a cut has been taken as described in the manual slice procedure, the start
point and end point of that slice operation is stored in memory. In slice window mode
the user can slice between these points and the unit will automatically stop at the end
point. The user can select if the slice operation finishes at the end point or
automatically retracts to the start point ready for the next slice (see section 6.10).
If you try to operate the instrument in the slice window mode without having
previously set a slice window, via the manual slice procedure, the display will indicate
‘NO SLICE PROFILE HAS BEEN CREATED’. This display will time out and revert to
the basic manual operating screen.
When a satisfactory cut window has
been made, press the ‘AUTO
REPEAT’ key once until the slice
window screen is displayed. The led
adjacent to that key will be illuminated
in red as a warning.
Pressing the return button will take the
slicer to the start point and increment
the section thickness for the next slice.
Press the ‘SLICE ON/OFF’ key to
commence cutting or to stop cutting.
The unit will automatically stop cutting
at the stop point.
