Identifying and adapting incorrectly set rotors
The centrifuge automatically identifies the rotor that is being currently
used.
If the system identifies a different rotor than the one that is set, if
there are no different buckets for this rotor, and if the speed has
not been adapted manually, the rotor input will be adapted
automatically. The system will not display a message.
If the system identifies a different rotor than the one that is set,
and if there are different rotor/bucket combinations for this rotor,
the system will automatically select the rotor with the lowest
speed. The system will display a corresponding message so that
the rotor can be selected manually.
If the system identifies a different rotor than the one that is set, if
the speed has been limited, and if there are no rotor/bucket
combinations, a message will be displayed.
This prevents the maximum permissible speed from being exceeded.
For information on how to set the parameters, see 6.3.3.4 "Selection,
Display, and Modification of Data".

Acceleration
This function is used to select an acceleration curve. One can select
a linear rise (curves 0-9) or a quadratic rise (curves 10-19). The
acceleration curves 20-29 can be programmed as desired.
Their shape is explained in detail in 11.3.1 "Linear Curves" and 11.3.2
"Quadratic Curves".
Deceleration
This function is used in order to select a curve that decelerates the
centrifuge to a standstill. Deceleration curves are inverted images of
the acceleration curves and are labelled with identical numbers.
Deceleration curve no. 0 represents a brakeless deceleration.
Radius
The radius determines the value of the relative centrifugal force
(RCF) that the sample is subjected to. Normally, the maximum RCF
value is displayed. If the value is reduced manually, a downward
facing arrow ( ) will be displayed in the RCF field.
