reference thermometer into the Reference Temperature input box
10. Click the Apply as Current Offset option button (always click the radio
button for the Apply as Current Offset option when calibrating for a
specific temperature
11. Click the Calibrate button and wait for the machine equilibrate using the
offset
12. Repeat this entire process for the wash temperature and each
temperature at which the user wishes to run samples
NOTE: Occasionally a temperature may
require several calibrations in order to get
an accurate calibration
NOTE: The General Bath Offset is a
factory-preset value affecting temperature
control at all temperatures and should not
be changed. General offsets are normally
applied at -5°C for the miniAV-LT
NOTE: Once the wash temperature and all
desired running temperatures have been
calibrated, the user must train the tube
sensors at each of these temperatures
Training tube sensors:
MiniAV-LT tube sensors must be trained in order for the instrument
to properly perform test functions. To train miniAV-LT sensors,
follow the instructions below.
NOTE: Depending on security level settings, it may be necessary for
you to log in as a manager to complete the calibration.
.
1. To train tube sensors, click Service from the primary display and select
the Train Tube Sensors option for the desired instrument. The Train
Tube Sensors window will open
2. Wait for the machine to equilibrate at the desired temperature
3. Click the Train at Wash Temperature checkbox if wash temp training is
desired
Select the desired training parameters as follows:
Thermal Soak Time: Set your desired Thermal Soak Time using the scroll
box
Temperature to Train: Input all desired temperatures to be trained in the
Temperatures to Train list
Prewash: Click the Prewash option if the tube is not clean and dry. VISCPRO
will initiate a cleaning cycle using current wash configuration settings prior to
initiating the sensor training procedure
