protocol wizards guide you in setting up all required parameters for a run. At
the end of the wizards, insert the sample plate then touch the "Start" button.

• New Protocol: Allows you to create new protocols. Touching this button
launches the New Protocol wizard. It guides you through a series of steps
to define a protocol. After completing the wizard, you may save the
protocol under the User list of protocols.
• Select Protocol: Allows you to retrieve stored protocols. There are two
types of stored protocols: Preset and User. The convenient preset protocols

deleted. However, a modified version of these preset protocols can be
saved into the User protocol list. Customized User protocols can be
modified, renamed or deleted at any time.
