Entering A Goto Step - BIO RAD PTC-200 Operation Manual

Select one of the displayed choices, then press «Proceed»:
• Yes accepts the step and displays the Enter Menu again. Use the Enter Menu to
enter the next step in the program.
• No allows reentry of the ramp rate and finish temperature.
• Option displays the Options Menu (see "Modifying a Program Step with the Options,"
p. 6-11).
4 Tip: A ramp step will not hold the block at its finish temperature. Instead, as soon as finish
temperature is reached, the next step of the program will immediately be executed. To
hold the block for some period of time at a ramp step's finish temperature, make sure a
temperature step immediately follows the ramp step, and program the hold at the finish
temperature into this step.
