3 Mode of operation

3.1.3 Keypad

Manual injection is performed for as long as the

key is held down.

Injection pressure pi is used. In the second line, injection time ti is counted
upwards from 0.0.

If the FemtoJet

is connected to the Eppendorf Micromanipulator

InjectMan

NI 2, 5171 or Inject Man

, the injection movement of the

micromanipulator is also started via the

key. Both units then

combine as a system to perform semi-automatic microinjection.

Alternatively, the INJECT key of the connected micromanipulator or the
hand/foot control can be used.

If synchronization is set to "limit" (SYNC = LIMIT) in the INJECT function
of the micromanipulator, semi-automatic injection can only be triggered
via the micromanipulator.

Inject

Performs automatic or manual injection.
Automatic injection is controlled via the
injection time t

i

, and the injection

pressure p

i

is used. In the second line,

injection time t

i

is counted down from the

nominal value.

Clean

The maximum available pressure for
cleaning is applied at the tube outlet for
as long as the key is held down. Once the
key is released, the pressure drops to
compensation pressure p

c

again. The

pressure curve is shown in the form of
a bar.
