The Control Panel

Figure 1-2 The control panel.
The control panel consists of a 2-x-20-character LCD and eleven
pressure-sensitive membrane keys that can be used to control some
functions of the instrument. When you press a control panel key, the
instrument performs the associated action.
Note: Settings made in SoftMax Pro Software override control panel
settings.
The left side of the display shows the temperature inside the cuvette
chamber, both actual and set point, and whether or not the
temperature is at the set point (the enunciator blinks if it is not at set
point). The temperature of the microplate chamber lags slightly behind
the temperature in the cuvette chamber. The temperature in the
microplate chamber is reported in the SoftMax Pro Software interface
display.
The middle of the display shows the wavelengths for
absorbance/excitation and emission.
The right side of the display shows the data received from the reading
as absorbance, percent transmission, fluorescence emission or
excitation, or luminescence, and indicates whether or not a reference
measurement was made (enunciator blinks if no reference reading was
taken).
To change the contrast of the display, press
