Enter the number of readings you want to take in the Readings column.

Next enter the interval between the start of two consecutive readings in the Interval
column. Note that this is the minimum time necessary for one complete reading plus
any mixing time you specify. For a standard 12

x

8 (96-well) plate, the smallest

interval you can specify is 7 seconds. For custom plate sizes, the smallest interval you
can specify is 450 seconds (7.5 minutes). If the interval you enter is too short, a
message box will tell you the minimum total read time.

Finally, you can specify a mixing time for your plate. If no mixing is desired, enter a
0.
