The Y-Module (°C) panel allows setting the temperature for two independent thermostats (circulators),
that can be selected via the Selected drop down menu. Each thermostat has two output channels, 01
and 02. Type into the input boxes or use the arrows to define the appropriate temperature for each
module. Activate the modules by checking the corresponding boxes. The actual values will be displayed
to the right of each module.
Note that using the Z-Piezo stage insert, which is required for both HR-SIM and PALM, only the
incubator function of the incubator XL are available as Heating Insert P and Incubator S do not
fit to this stage. The latter can therefore only be used without the Piezo stage insert.

5.1.4 Incubation Tool
To have access to incubator functions to define the
atmosphere and temperature, you have to expand
the Incubation tool by pressing the arrow in the
Incubation tool (Fig. 62).
You will have access dependent on the attached
equipment to
− Temperature (°C) control
− Atmosphere (%) control
− Y-module (°C) control
To have access to the respective controls, you have
to expand the fields by pressing the triangles
(Fig. 63).
The Temperature (°C) panel allows you to control
up to 4 independent heating channels that are
linked to certain devices (e.g. incubator XL, heating
insert P, objective heater etc.) that are assigned to
different channels. Enter the desired nominal
temperature via the input boxes by typing in the
numbers or by using the arrows to set the
parameters. Check the corresponding box to
activate the desired Channel. The numbers on the
right will display the actual temperature. If a sensor
is available, its temperature will also be displayed.
The Atmosphere (%) panel allows defining the O
and CO concentration via the input boxes either
2
type in the numbers or use the arrows to set the
parameters. In order to monitor O
humidity levels, check the corresponding boxes.
Actual values will be displayed on the right. If a
humidifier is available it can be activated by
checking the Humidity box. The actual humidity
reading is displayed on the right,
