General information on the operating instructions
Pictures
The instruments of BÜCHI Labortechnik AG underlie a permanent development and adjustment
regarding the optimum parameter settings. This may lead to deviations in terms of picture display of
the manual and the current instrument status which are not relevant for the understanding of the
instrument operation.
The valid numbers of the parameter settings and/or variables can be found in the current text part.
Therefore, numbers in the pictures of software dialogs are mainly replaced by spaces or only reflect
examples. They do not reflect the proper, recommended set values.
Reading aids
Subheadings are displayed in the left margin as reading aids. They sum up the content of the
particular section and are useful for quick navigation.
Index
An index is given at the end of the operating instructions that helps you locate certain topics more
easily. Index entries always refer to the first page of the section in which the index term is found.
Therefore, don't be confused if the index term does not appear on the first page but rather on one of
the following pages.
