9.4.2 Incremental/Decremental Temperature and Time Settings
To increase or decrease the dwell time or temperature after each repeat you must have more than one cycle repeat (i.e., 55°C and a
dwell time 40 seconds, you could decrement the second step by 5 seconds. The second step would be 55°C and a dwell time of 35
seconds).
1. Place the cursor at the Temperature or Time values. Press F3:INCRE.
2. Select increment/decremental values. The screen will ask to input the increment values. Press F3 + or F4 to choose increment or
decrement.
3. Enter your desired values, and press ENTER. The graph will show the increment/decrement values.
4. To accept the values, press F1:ACCEPT. Or, to re-enter the values, press F2:CLEAR.
To remove the Incremental/Decremental Temperature and Time settings, place the cursor in the temperature segment with
Incremental/Decremental Temperature and Time values. Press F2:CLEAR to clear the values. Pressing F1:ACCEPT will remove the
incremental/Decremental Temperature setting and its symbol.
Temperature Increment
Max. Temperature incremental value: ± 9.9°C

Max. Time incremental value (minute:second): ± 9:59

NOTES:
Temperature limits 4.0°C to 99.9°C. DO NOT exceed.

Only Multi-cycle segments will have incremental/decremental time or temperature function.
