6.1.2 Structure of the program editor
A program consists of a program header and up to 99 program steps that are executed by the cycler one
after the other. Use the program editor to create and adjust programs.
1 Number of the program step
2 Block temperature [°C]
The thermoblock is heated or cooled in the
relevant step at this temperature.
3 Holding time [mm:ss]
The set block temperature is maintained for this
time.
4 Average temperature for gradient steps
When using gradient steps, increasing
temperatures are generated across the columns
of the thermoblock from left to right. The average
temperature is displayed here.
5 Program step highlighted marking
The selected program step is highlighted in blue.
New program steps are inserted before the
marked step.
6 Step number within the cycle
The step number within a cycle and the total
number of steps in the cycle are displayed on the
top right. Example:
2/3 : second step of a 3-step
cycle ( 3 StepCyc ).
7 Active input field
Numerical keys are used to make entries.
8 Extended program step
Program steps are marked with a star
* if they
have a temperature or holding time increment or
a reduced heating or cooling rate.
9 Marking of gradient steps
Gradient steps are indicated by three horizontal
lines.
10 Number of cycles
The number of cycles indicates how often the
program steps indicated by the green horizontal
arrow are to be carried out.
