A gradient calculator is included in the software which can be used to display more accurately the
temperatures of the block for any given gradient. The gradient calculator is located in the menu on the first
screen of the cycler software (see also the section GRADIENT CALCULATOR).

Use the "Up Arrow" or "Down Arrow"
keys to move to the step where you want to program
a gradient.
Press "Enter" to go into edit mode.
Press "Pause"
The prompt line will change to flash between
'CHANGE STEP?' and 'YES' or 'NO'.
Press "Enter"
Now press the "Up Arrow" key
Using the "Up Arrow" key the line will toggle
between grad, fst (for increment/decrement) and step.
Select grad meaning "gradient".
Press "Enter" twice to go into edit mode.
Use the "Alpha/numeric" keys to change the values
of the grad line to the set temperatures and/or times
you require.
Press "Enter" after each field you change. You will
exit 'Edit Mode' when you reach the end of the line.
Use the "Down Arrow" key to move onto the
'gradient' line.
Press "Enter" to edit the gradient range. A gradient
range between 1 and 15°C can be entered.
Press "Enter" to accept.
If the step temperature is edited such that, for the
currently entered gradient range, the unit will be
forced outside the gradient limits, the gradient range
will be reduced so as to preserve the set temperature.
