DSC Auto Q20/Q20/Q10 Keypad
The DSC Auto Q20, Q20, and Q10 instruments do not have a touch screen for communication; these instruments
use a keypad shown below.
The DSC instrument keypads, shown here, contain keys that control local operations at the instrument
(experiment starting and stopping). Experiment information and instrument parameters are entered using the
instrument control software.
The table below explains the functions of the instrument keys:
