8.2. START-UP When the instrument is switched on (switch to ON), the screen displays the present temperature of the hot plate (between 20ºC and 70ºC). If the temperature is above/below this, the screen will display: “––“. When the button is pressed, the required temperature appears on screen with a flashing decimal dot.
The latency of the response is shown on the screen to a precision of 0.01 seconds. The latency time remains on screen until the pedal is pressed again to run another test. The procedure to be followed is described as follows: 8.2.1.
8.2.2. TESTS WITH ANIMALS 1 Place the experimental animal on the plate, pressing the PEDAL once at the same time. 2 As soon as the animal responds by licking its leg, press the PEDAL once to stop the timer. 3 The screen displays the latency of the response, which will remain until the next test.
9. WORKING WITH THE SEDACOM SOFTWARE The purchase of the Sedacom software is needed for transferring the data to a computer (please contact your local sales delegate for more information). The Sedacom software reference is composed by a USB Flash key containing the software Installer, a License for use and Sedacom User’s Manual.
If the temperature is below 20.0 ° C or above 70 ° C the display will not show the temperature but will show "---". The LE7406 display shows "---" If the internal temperature probe does instead of a numeric value.
