Creating a Protocol
User Guide | 71
The three categories are listed in the left pane of the Protocol Setup window.
Numbered steps in each category appear under these headings. To select an option
under a protocol step, select the accompanying checkbox. Options for that step
appear in the right pane of the window. To disable any step, clear its checkbox.
There are some differences in the gel imaging settings of single-channel protocols
and multichannel protocols. These settings are explained in Step 1. Gel Imaging for
Single-Channel Protocols on page 72 and Step 1. Gel Imaging for Multichannel
Protocols on page 74 , in the Protocol Setup window. The remaining steps in the
protocol setup are virtually identical.
