RTC (real-time control) operation

The Sorvall MTX 150 micro-ultracentrifuge contains an internal clock, allowing you to run the machine at
a specified start or finish time for centrifugation. This feature for running the machine at a specified time is
called the RTC (real-time control) feature. The feature saves you the trouble of calculating the delay time for
"delayed-start operation". Explained below is how to perform an RTC operation, with an example.
Example: If you wish to install your rotor on the micro-ultracentrifuge under the run conditions listed below on
the evening of January 10 and to take out the samples around 8:00 the next morning;
1. Rotor: S150AT
2. RPM: 150,000 rpm
3. Separation time: 2 hours
4. Control temperature: 4°C
5. Acceleration mode: 9
6. Deceleration mode: 7
