Pause A Protocol; Viewing Running Protocol Information - Labnet MultiGene OptiMax TC9610 Operation Manual

2. Users are required to select a Temperature Control Mode before running the Protocol.
Mode 1(Tube Control): Enable system operation with simulated temperature
control. If Mode 1 is selected, users are required to input the sample volume :
5-100ul. In this mode, temperature control is based on Block temperature and
an algorithm which estimates sample temperature based on the block
temperature and the sample volume. Recommended for more accurate
temperature control.
Mode 2(Block Control): Enable system operation with maximum temperature
control based on the actual block temperature. Recommended for normal
operation.
3. Press F1:START to run the Protocol.
Note:
1. The highlighted temperature (Temp) value represents the current block temperature
during Protocol running. The highlighted time (Time) value below represents the
remaining running time in the temperature segment. Once the countdown is completed,
the highlighted section will continue to move to the next temperature or cycle segment
and start counting down the time.
2. The Lid temperature will flash on the status bar when the Protocol starts and remain
on until it reaches 50ºC. When the lid reaches 50°C "HOT!" will appear in the right
hand corner and remain until the temperature falls below 40°C The sample block will
start to heat up when the lid temperature reaches its set temperature.
