Programming the tc-512 – Techne TC-512 User Manual

Page 30

After the self tests have been completed the
screen opposite is shown unless the unit is
powered up by auto-restart. If there is a
program running and a power failure occurs,
the auto-restart function, if enabled, will
immediately restart the program once power is
restored. The instrument does not perform the
self tests at this point. Once the program is
complete and has been stopped then the self
tests will be initiated.

The System User section of the software allows
the user to program the thermal cycler for
his/her experiments and view or print the data
logs. The System Admin contains the settings
for the instrument itself.
