Example 'time' user-configurable file. Print time is dependent on a range of instrument and user-defined parameters. To estimate the print time, users record the time it takes to perform a single print cycle for a given print set-up by editing the time file. Single print cycle duration is best measured by recording how long it takes to perform a full print-run (under defined conditions) and then dividing by the number of the print cycles. Estimated print time is limited by the user-specified print cycle times. An additional example file is available from the SimArray web site [31].
