Sources and version notesOfficial manual, Pplateau note, and current product resources
Button paths and monitored-parameter descriptions were checked against the HAMILTON-T1 U.S. operator’s manual for software 3.0.x. Hamilton currently advertises newer 3.1.x software, so labels, enabled options, and available functions may differ on the unit in front of you.
