CYCL: The Cycle Program
A CYCL program contains the thermal ramp and
hold segment patterns for PCR cycling. It contains
up to nine setpoints. Each setpoint comprises a
ramp segment and a hold segment for the specific
target temperature. The pattern can be repeated up
to 99 times. Typically there are two or three
setpoints in a CYCL program. A complete cycle
typically requires less than two to four minutes.
