Default Protocols
You can image your sample on the GS-900 densitometer by running a default
protocol or a custom protocol. You can set up a default protocol for any gels,
applications, and analyses you are likely to run repeatedly. Then you can access the
protocol with the touch of a button on the front of the densitometer. Like other
protocols, a default protocol can be saved and reused.
First, set up a default protocol for the kind of application you want to run. Then, run
the default protocol, which activates and images the gel with one touch of a button.
Setting Up and Running a Default Protocol
Setting up a default protocol is similar to setting up a new protocol. You can set up a
default protocol
 When the instrument is first connected to the software, after initial
calibration
 From the Default Protocol button in the toolbar
This procedure assumes that you perform this task using the Default Protocol
button.
To set up a default protocol
1. Click Default Protocol in the toolbar.
The Default Protocol Setup dialog box appears.
2. Click Create to create a default protocol.
