Selects the mode that is displayed on the ordinary main screen.
The tester has two standard modes, water and glycerin. However,
two additional modes can be added by setting "Add mode" in "Test
parameters" to “Yes”.
For example, tests that end with one-sided drop detection can be
set as an additional mode.
· Liquid
Specify the bath liquid for use in the mode (water or glycerin).
When this is specified, tests are performed using the settings from
the heating settings screen.
· 1-sample
Usually set to off.
When Yes is specified, testing ends after the detection of a
one-sided drop.
· Cut temp

By default, a test ends about two minutes after one-side drop
detection. Change the setting when measuring samples of very
