C/M
In this function, the unit heats up uniformly to the speci-
fied Temperature (in degrees Celsius) in the specified
Time (in minutes). It thus operates on a temperature
gradient.
The temperature gradients which can in fact be
operated depend on the type and heat output of
the digester, and also on the heat capacity of the
samples.
Perform a trial run and find out for yourself, using
the temperature display, whether the temperature
plots set can actually be achieved.
Function E: End
This function is used to inform the K8 / K12 / K20 / K16 /
K24 / K40 that the temperature program ends here.
Every program memory slot consists of ten slots for pro-
gram steps. The K8 / K12 / K20 / K16 / K24 / K40 works
through these ten program steps in sequence if it does
not previously encounter an End step.
The last program step of every program must there-
fore be an End step. An End step is only not needed if
the program actually has the maximum of ten steps.
A program can thus be written as follows:
For the first step, enter the required function and the
corresponding values.
Select ==>>. This then leads to the next program
step.
Continue this procedure to program all the required
steps.
Select <<== if you wish to check or modify the pro-
gram step entered. Use ==>> to move forward again.
Remember to enter End (Function E) as the final
step. An End step is only not needed if the program
has ten steps.
Press <<== repeatedly to return to the Start menu.
Which program settings are most useful for you will
depend on your digester, the digestion method and
the nature of the samples.
