If you don't fill in the labels, you will be prompted to do so when you run the
Protocol. You can also define and fill out labels after the Protocol has been run, when
the data is displayed. Labels created after a Protocol has been run cannot be saved
with the Protocol.
Running a Protocol
After all the parameters have been set, click on the Run button to begin taking a
reading.
While the reading is in progress, the Run button will change into a Stop button and
the other controls will become inactive. A digital clock will display the elapsed time.
Figure 25. Example of a running Protocol.
Clicking on Stop will stop the reading in progress.
For Kinetic and Multiple Plate Protocols, data acquired up to the time the reading is
stopped will be displayed and may be saved. For example, if a run of 100 readings is
stopped during reading 51, you can save the first 50 readings. If you stop an Endpoint
Protocol, all data will be lost.
Saving Protocol Files
You must save your Protocol to preserve any changes you have made to the Protocol
parameters.
