4.3. Detailed Operations 4.3.1. Start-up Interface Make sure the front door and the plastic side door are closed beforehand, and turn on the machine using the power button on the back of the machine. On the display screen, the start-up interface will show up (see figure 8).
Page 15
4.3.2. Run Program Interface This interface including two modes: “shortcut mode” and “list mode”, as shown in below Fig 9 and Fig Fig 9 Fig 10 In the “List mode” interface, if a program is selected/activated in “Shortcut” column, the icon of the program can be displayed on shortcut interface.
4.3.3. Run Interface In “List mode” or “Shortcut” mode, select the required program and click “Run” to enter the run interface. When starting a run, the instrument will first detect whether there is are plates on the rotary table. If no plate is found, the program will prompt to confirm whether the following steps can be continued, as shown in the figures 11 and 12 below.

The instrument will install magnetic rod sleeves automatically. If rod sleeves are already installed on the current magnetic rod sleeve rack, "Sleeve loaded, continue?” will pop up (see figure 13). If no magnetic rod sleeve is detected after installing the magnetic rod sleeve, "No sleeve, continue?" will appear (see figure 14).
Page 18
After the magnetic rod sleeve is successfully installed, the instrument automatically performs the following steps (see figure 15). Fig 15 In the running interface, users can stop, pause, continue or run the program again. Plate number 1 (dark blue in figure 15) is the working plate, the red corner mark on it means the plate is running or already finished running, while the blue corner mark means the plate is ready to run.
4.3.4. View Select the required program (in the list mode or shortcut mode) and click the “View” button to enter the view interface (see figure 16). Users can view all parameter settings of the program. Fig 16 Users can click the button in the upper right corner to switch to the graphic display.
