Running a Method (RUN)

The Run soft-key appears, after you have entered your Method. Press Run to start the Method currently shown on the screen. If you want to run a different program, you must key in its file number and press ENTER, before pressing Run. In either case a series of in run screens appears, starting with the in-run prompts (if any).

In-run Prompts

Values for any parameters defined as in-run prompts (using a question mark) must be confirmed, or changed, before the Method runs.

After pressing Run, the software prompts you for action: you must press ENTER to confirm the value shown on the screen, or to change it, key in a new value and then press ENTER.

When the Method runs you must follow the instruc- tions on the screen. You press the command button on the probe to aspirate and to dispense, when prompted to do so by the command light on the probe:

-a steady light means you are to aspirate or dispense liquid,

-a flashing light means you are to aspirate air via the probe.
