1.2.1 “Date” and “Time” indicate the system time and date.
1.2.2 “Module Select” stands for module type, including two optional modes,
named “18*0.5” and “24*0.2”. The Module type will be preset for the type
of unit you purchased. If a different size block is later installed, this
setting will need to be changed.
1.2.3 “Control Mode” stands for default control model after power-on,
including two optional modes, named “Block” and “Tube”.
“Block” mode offers basic temperature control during the course of cooling &
heating only. Compared to the block, the cooling & heating rate of the samples
in the block are a little slower, therefore, the actual rate of change of the
sample temperature is different from the block temperature. The actual time for
the sample to reach the block temperature is longer than the time it takes for
the block to reach the set temperature. Therefore the dwell time of the sample
at the set temperature can be shorter than the dwell time of the block at the set
temperature.(Please refer to the following figure: relation between block
temperature and reagent temperature.)
