equilibrium of the sample and spindle. The hold time range is 0 to 999 seconds.
Press the HOLD TIME key and the current hold time will blink on the default screen.
Use the number keys to type in the required hold time and press the ENTER key.
NOTE: When the hold time is set to zero, it is not displayed on the default screen.
II.6 RUN TIME
Run time sets the time period of spindle rotation. The run time range is 0 to 999
seconds.
