THE RUN SCREEN
The Run Screen will be displayed after a program has been started. It shows the instrument status and
the progress of a run.
Once the program has been started, the timers in
the top right hand corner of the screen will indicate
how long the program has been running and the
total run time. The progress bar at the top of the
screen also indicates how far the run has
progressed.
The status of the block is indicated by the step bars
which display the activity of the block (i.e. ramping
to temperature), paused or the count down time of
the step.
Progress through the program is indicated by the
stage bar(s) which show at which cycle of the
program the unit is currently at.
Adaptive ramp rate
The first time a program is run, the unit estimates the total run time based on the ramp rates set in the
program. After the first cycle has completed the actual time taken to complete the cycle is then used to
re-calculate the total run time. Subsequent runs of the same program will therefore have a more
accurate estimate of total run time. The estimate also takes into account the ambient room
temperature; therefore run times will also depend on ambient temperature.
• Touch Stop to stop the program. A prompt will
ask you to confirm the stop.
• Touch Temperature log to view the block
temperatures. The previous two minutes of
temperature readings can be viewed by scrolling
across the screen using a finger. The complete
log is written and saved on the unit.
Note: Touch Program View to return to the
program status.
• Touch Pause to pause the program.
• If paused, touch Continue to un-pause the
program.
Note: If the drawer is opened while the unit is running, the program will pause and only resume when
the drawer is closed.
Note: It is possible to access all modules of the software while the unit is running a program.
• Touch Back to return to the Home Screen and access other modules.
Once the run has finished, Program Finished will be displayed instead of End time.
