Description
To load updates of the BioLogic DuoFlow operating software. To open the drive,
press the button on the front of the drive.
The keyboard and mouse interface devices control the system. They are standard
PC compatible input devices. The keyboard includes the following special function
keys:
Hold until Keypress: To start a method that is on Hold during a run when a
method includes a “Hold until Keypress” step.
Help: Displays the Help menu for the currently displayed screen.
Esc: Functions as an alternative to the Cancel selection in a Dialog box.
Alt: Some system commands can be executed either by selecting them from a
drop-down menu or by holding down the Alt key and then pressing the
appropriate character key.
These connect to the USB Bitbus Communicator, which in turn connects to the
instrument bus, and allows components of the BioLogic DuoFlow system to
communicate with the Controller. Components connect to the instrument bus in a
“daisy-chain” and are recognized when the system is switched on. Even when one
component is switched off, other components “daisy-chained” to the system can be
controlled by the Controller.
