4.5 Language choice
The Model 680 Microplate Reader has two versions, English and Chinese, in the on-board software. And it
allows the user to choose between English and Chinese.
1. Language choice screen
If both "0" key and "4" key are pressed at the same time and
the power is turned on and then held for about 5 seconds,
the reader will enter into the language choice mode. And the
language choice screen is only shown in English.
Up and down arrow key are used to select a language. The
enter key is used to determine it.
When the Enter key is pressed, the reader resets
automatically. And then the reader restarts itself with the
selected language.
If the selected language is difference from the previous
language, the reader will clear all of memories and will be set
to the initial condition. At that time the battery error screen
appears, but it is not an actual error.
NOTE:
The details of the initial condition are described at the
memory back-up section. See section 4.2.3 for Memory
Back-up.
2. Deference between English and Chinese version
There are some functionality differences between the English and the Chinese version as below.
(1). On-board storage of standard curves and graphs
The Chinese version does not support the on-board storage of standard curves and graphs. Therefore,
saving and recalling of a standard curve is not available for Chinese version.

The Chinese version has the function of automatic mapping, but it is an old style. It does not allow the
user to input each number of the well types for a plate map.

The Chinese version supports only five types of the cutoff formula. The supported formulas for Chinese
version are as follows.
i. K * CNx

iv. (CNx + CPx) / K
v. K1*CNx + K2*CPx

The Chinese version does not support TeSeE and TeSeE eq screening report. Endpoint Protocol #5 and
