3.3 Saving Pipetting Programs to Memory

All Picus® and Picus® NxT models allow the saving of 10 programs into the
memory of the pipette.
To store the program in the memory:
1. Choose the pipetting mode and set the parameters as guided in the
previous chapter, then press the Hotkey (H) to see the list of memory
locations.
2. Choose the desired memory location by turning the adjustment wheel (A).
3. Press the middle Softkey for SAVE (S).
4. The pipette asks for a password, if the password feature has been
activated. Enter the password, one number at a time, by turning the
adjustment wheel and confirming the number by pressing the operating
button or the right Softkey for OK. Repeat for all numbers in your
password.
5. Next the pipette asks for a name for the memory location. Activate the
name editor by pressing the operating button (B).
6. With the middle Softkey (S) you can switch between characters, numbers
and symbols. Turn the adjustment wheel (A) to change the characters and
press the operating button (B) or the right Softkey (R) for OK to confirm
the selection and to move to the next character. If you want to
character change, you can press the left Softkey for BACK.
7. Repeat the sequence, in point 6, for all characters. Confirm the last
character with OK or the operating button, and the pipette simultaneously
exits the editing mode.
8. If you want to clear any of the characters in the name, turn the
adjustment wheel until the character is underlined and press the right
Softkey for CLEAR. Repeat this until the desired characters are cleared.
9. Save the program name by pressing the middle Softkey for SAVE (S), and
the pipette returns to the list of memory locations.
10. At any time, if you wish to exit the current function and/or do not want
to save the latest change, press the left Softkey for BACK.
To activate the program from a memory location:
1. Press the Hotkey (H) to see the list of memory locations.
2. Choose the desired memory location by turning the adjustment wheel (A).
3. Press the operating button (B) or the right Softkey for OK to activate the
saved program.

Setup

The user may change the settings of the pipette through the Setup menu. The
modifiable settings are the accuracy adjustment, sound, backlight, user ID,
GLP info, language, password and reset to factory settings.
The following chapters introduce the various settings and give instructions on
how to modify them.

3.4.1 Adjustment

The length of the piston stroke in Picus® and Picus® NxT pipettes is defined
by the manufacturer as a factory setting. This factory setting is to be used in
normal circumstances: with aqueous liquids, at standard atmospheric pressure,
and with the pipette, tip and the liquid at standard room temperature.
When these circumstances change, the accuracy of the dispensed volume
may be affected. To maintain accuracy in altered circumstances, the user can
adjust the factory setting per the changed environmental factors or type of
liquid to be used, by using the Adjustment function.
