Controlling the PTC Tempo Instrument

You can perform the following actions on reserved PTC Tempo instruments on the Instrument Control page:

Open and close the instrument lid
Start a run, stop a run, and skip a step in a protocol run

Important: Unlocking the PTC Tempo instrument instead of assigning a protocol will disable Fleet Management instrument control. You must lock the instrument and assign a protocol to enable instrument control.  For more information on assigning protocols, see Assigning a Protocol to a Reserved PTC Tempo Instrument.
