1.3 BASIC OPERATION OF THE INSTRUMENT (START, STOP,
RESET, MANUAL)
The Start, Stop and Reset buttons act in their primary function when the menu is closed and
showing the front display. This allows a batch or blend to be started, stopped or reset quickly from the
front panel. Within the menu they take on their secondary functions of Mode, Cancel and Delete – where
appropriate. The self-explanatory functions of the start, stop and reset buttons are duplicated within the
menu. Selecting the very first ‘Control’ item of the menu (as shown above) will result in the user being
taken down into the control menu where, amongst other commands, the ‘Start’, Stop’ and ‘Reset’
commands are duplicated.
