About the Control Panel
Overview
The control panel for the 2720 Thermal Cycler consists of a display screen and keys,
including function keys (F1–F5), numeric keys, arrow keys, and the Enter, CE, and
Stop keys, as shown in the figure below.
Display
The display screen is a window that you use for communicating with the instrument’s
software.
F1 to F5 Keys
Use the function keys (F1 to F5) to activate the “button” on the screen above the key;
for example, F1 for Run. The display is not a touch screen. Throughout this manual
you will find instructions to press F1 (Run) or press F2 (Create). The function keys
permit you to navigate from screen to screen and perform other actions.
Selecting a Field
Most screens have a highlighter that you use to select a field. To move the highlighter,
use the arrow keys or the Enter key.
Entering Numbers
Use the numeric keys (0–9) to enter numeric values, then press Enter or an arrow key.
When you type temperatures and times (minutes:seconds), the system takes care of
the decimal point and colon, respectively. If necessary, you can use the CE key to
clear a field and then reenter values.
