time between 2 seconds and 60 seconds.
6.4.1 General Tube Vortexing
When the unit is switched on it automatically loads the most recently used
vortexing program, making it instantly ready to accept tubes.
NOTE
It is not necessary to have the

page displayed for the
loaded program to run in Automatic mode - the vortexer will
operate whenever the pad is depressed. See sections 6.4.2 and
7.4.5 for details of available vortexing modes.
