4.2 The Protocol Manager
After startup of the software, the Protocol Manager appears and
you can create and edit protocols and start measurements:
Creating instrument parameters
4.2.1 [Protocols] Tab
[Protocol types]
The implemented protocol types are displayed in this field. Each
protocol type includes a group of parameters for a special
measurement method such as the measurement time, but with-
out any values. The name of a protocol type therefore refers to
the measurement method for which it is used, for example
[Slow Kinetics] for kinetics measurements with light emission
over a longer period of time. A protocol type always serves a s
template for a measurement protocol which includes certain pa-
rameters defined by the user. Based on one protocol type, you
can set up as many measurement protocols with different pa-
rameters desired.
To create a measurement protocol, click <Create>, i.e., select a
protocol type as template, enter the required parameters and
save it under a new name. The program stores measurement
protocols automatically in the field [Runable protocols] and lists
them in alphabetical order. The name of a measurement
