Control device for a laboratory centrifuge
First Claim
1. A control device for controlling operating parameters and control functions for the operation of a laboratory centrifuge, said control device comprising:
- a display panel for displaying a visual representation of at least a part of the operating parameters and control functions;
a control switch for setting the operating parameters and control functions, said control switch being capable of at least two independent movements, a first of said movements comprising a rotation about an axis and a second of said movements comprising a displacement along said axis;
wherein said display panel is configured to display said visually represented operating parameters and control functions in response to movement of said control switch; and
wherein one of said movements provides for selection and change in setting of one of the operating parameters and control functions and another of said movements provides for acceptance of said selection and acceptance of said setting.

Abstract
A control device for controlling operating parameters and control functions for the operation of a laboratory centrifuge. The control device has a panel for displaying a visual representation of at least a part of the operating parameters and control functions such as speed of rotation, acceleration temperature, etc. A control switch sets the operating parameters and control functions, this switch being capable of at least two independent movements—a first movement including a rotation about an axis, the second one a displacement along the axis. One of these switch movement, e.g., rotation, provides for the selection and change in setting of one of the operating parameters and control functions, and another of the switch movement, e.g., displacement, provides for acceptance of the selection and acceptance of the setting.
