Figure 36 Biometra TRIO run screen during program pause
Note: To press the pause button requires manual interaction. The Biometra TRIO
software also allows to program a pause step (see chapter "Edit parameter or step"
p. 44), then the pause step is automatically started by the instrument.
Note: For programs including a TOS step all blocks are paused simultaneously.
Note: If the instrument is switched off during a pause step, this will be recognized as a
power failure (a referring error message is written to the Run-Logfile). For example, if
the last step in a program is a pause, the program has to be stopped by pressing the
STOP button (see chapter "Stop Program" p. 61) before switching off the instrument.
9.3 Continue Program
To continue a paused program press the [CONTINUE] button in the Biometra TRIO run
screen during program pause (see Figure 36).
The Biometra TRIO Thermal Cycler will continue the program exactly from the point
when the pause was initiated.
Note For programs including a TOS step (see chapter "Set Temperature Optimisation
Step (TOS)" p. 47) the program is continued on all blocks simultaneously.
9.4 Skip Step
To skip a step program press the [SKIP] button in the Biometra TRIO run screen (see
Figure 34).
The Biometra TRIO Thermal Cycler will immediately continue with the next program
step and skips the current step.
