Specifying a Program or Method
To specify the time and temperature pattern you want to use to
run PCR samples, you can create a new program or method, edit
an existing one, or recall one you have previously stored.
Create a new program or method
Select the CREATE option on the main menu and choose a type
of program: HOLD, CYCL, or AUTO. Modify the parameters in the
program displays by referring to the description of each program
in Chapter 4. You can then immediately run the program, or store
it, then run it at any time.
Or, select CREATE on the main menu, then choose the method
option (METH) to link together a series of programs. You can
then immediately run the method, or store it, then run it at any
time.
Edit an existing program or method
Select the EDIT option on the main menu to modify one of the
programs or methods that you have stored. Once you have
edited the file, you can immediately run it, or store it for later use,
then run it at any time.
Recall a stored program or method
Select the RUN option on the main menu to run a program or
method that you have already set up and stored.
