SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
This contains all the settings for programming the instrument such as units of temperature, date
format, language, and date and time settings. Other important features are enabling the auto restart
in case of a power failure and setting the comms address of the instrument if multiple units are linked
to a computer. This part of the software also contains information relating to the cycle count for the
block and the heated lid.
The cursor buttons can be used to scroll up
and down the menu to access additional
parameters.
A parameter is selected by touching the box
on the screen. Then, depending on the
parameter the screen will either toggle
between the options or display the numerical
interface over the page.
