Audible alarm on run completion
：
toggles whether there is an audible alarm or just a screen message to
alert the operator that the run has completed.
Use predicted liquid temperature for hold times
：
The Takara Thermal cycler Dice
TM
Touch
software implements a thermal
model which predicts the actual liquid temperature inside the reaction
vessels (Sample volume is 10
～
50 μl). Hold times can be based on this
model (default) or based purely on the block temperature. Using the
predicted temperature effectively increases the hold time (and total run
time) slightly but gives a more accurate representation of the hold time of
the actual sample liquid. Most manufacturers’ thermal cyclers purely use
the block temperature for timing.
Accelerated Thermal Equilibration
：
If this feature is selected the temperature model will use overshoot and
undershoot to get the liquid to temperature faster (Sample volume is 20
～
30 μl).
This is useful for highly sensitive chemistries or thermal profiles
with short hold times.
Auto Resume Run After Power Outage
：
If this feature is available on your cycler (not available on all models) then
when this box is checked a run will automatically resume at the same
place if power should be momentarily lost during a run.
Rate limit heating cooling rates
：
sets the rate limit for a run. This has a limit of 0.1
℃
/sec to 2.5
℃
/sec.
This feature is only available in runs not manual mode.

Use Top Heater
：
will cause the top heater to be used during a run if it is checked. Entry box
