If this area is inverted, the alteration mode is active (here in
combination with the speed).

Speed
In the upper section of the field, the set speed of the centrifuge is
displayed. The actual speed is displayed below this value. The values
are stated in revolutions per minute (rpm) and depend on the RCF
values (see 11.5 "Formulae – Mathematical Relations "). The
maximum speed values depend on the rotor that is used.

Relative Centrifugal Force (RCF)
The relative centrifugal force is the acceleration that the sample is
subjected to. The set value of this parameter is displayed in the upper
section of this field, with the actual value shown below. The values
are stated in g (gravitational acceleration) and depend on the speed
value (see 11.5 "Formulae – mathematical relation"). The maximum
RCF values depend on the rotor that is used.

Time
The set runtime is displayed in the upper section of this field, with the
remaining runtime shown below. The runtime is defined as the period
from the start of the centrifuge to the beginning of the deceleration
phase. The maximum value is 9 h 59 min. The unit of the
programmed centrifugation time is underlined.
