DSC Auto Q20/Q20/Q10 Keypad

The DSC Auto Q20, Q20, and Q10 instruments do not have a touch screen for communication; these instruments
use a keypad shown below.
The DSC instrument keypads, shown here, contain keys that control local operations at the instrument
(experiment starting and stopping). Experiment information and instrument parameters are entered using the
instrument control software.
The table below explains the functions of the instrument keys:

Description
This key begins the experiment. This is the same function as Start on the
instrument control software.
If an experiment is running, this key ends the method normally, as though it had
run to completion; i.e., the post test conditions go into effect and the data that has
been generated is saved. This is the same function as Stop on the instrument
control software.
(Available on Auto Q20 Only.) Toggles between opening and closing the
DSC Auto Q20 Autolid.
