C. PROGRAMMING AND OPERATION
C.1 Programming the Electronic Pipette
Pro
gramming the Matrix electronic pipette is fast and easy. Pipetting steps
and volume are entered in the sequence that they will be performed, then the
program is saved to memory. This program will stay in memory (even if the
pipette is turned off, or the electronic pipette battery runs low) until you change
it. Five programs and one scratch pad (Program 0), each capable of holding
40 steps, can be entered and stored in the electronic pipette.
C.1.1 Open Programming Mode or “Scratch Pad” (Program 0)
The Matrix electronic pipette provides ample program storage for five,
40-step programs. In addition, it offers open programming mode, also
known as the “scratch pad.” This mode is identified by “P-0,” which
appears in the program section of the display (
refer to the pipette
display on page 10
). This feature enables quick changes to pipetting
protocols without affecting previously stored programs.
To use the “scratch pad” mode: From the start of any program,
simply begin entering a new protocol (
selecting a pipetting operation
as described below
). This new protocol can now be used, and will
remain active until a stored program is retrieved. “P-0” appears in
the program ID section of the display to indicate that the (O)pen
programming mode, or “scratch pad” mode, is active.
C.1.2 Entering a Program in Open Programming Mode
To enter a pipetting program:
1.
Turn on pipette.
Press the green [On/Off] key to turn on the pipette. The
pipette will beep once and flash “ZERO” on the display while resetting the
pistons to zero position. The first step of the current program is displayed.
Note:
If the pipette is being programmed for the first time, the first step is the fill
operation, with the default fill volume displayed (see the following table).
