Fig. 20

The standard display shows the respective num-

ber of the station in which/above which the holder

for the specimen basket is currently located. At

the same time the display also reads real time

(24 hour clock). The colon between hours and

minutes is blinking.

The display shows all tissue processing param-

eters as well as the individual programs. Tissue

baskets and processing station are displayed

with symbols.

In addition to programming features other useful

data is displayed; such as program duration and

end of processing. Also displayed are warn-

ing codes (W:01 - W:06) to ensure trouble-free

processing, and error codes (E:01 - E:13) which

indicate instrument or data entry errors.

The control panel is an easy-care key pad.

The individual keys are organized in four func-

tional groups. Pressing any key will be acknowl-

edged by an audible signal. This function can be

disconnected if required

(see Chapter 15)
