3. Begin building the desired workflow by dragging and dropping the desired steps into the kinetic step. They
should be contained within the kinetic step.
Figure 34. Steps contained within a kinetic function.
4. Select the number of readings and interval (seconds) between each reading.
Note: Typically the protocol steps are completed before the completion of the interval time, and therefore the
instrument will pause until the completion of the interval time duration. However, if the protocol steps take
longer to complete than the interval time, the protocol will complete all steps and then immediately continue
without pausing for the interval time duration. Otherwise, once all steps are completed the protocol will pause
until the interval time duration has been reached.
5. Rearrange the steps by touching and dragging the step.
3.D. Running a Protocol
When running a protocol, the results will display in real-time as the protocol proceeds. Results are automatically
saved within the GloMax
local Tablet PC, to a USB flash drive, a network drive or to a cloud location. Upon completion of the protocol,
results can be analyzed using the Analysis functions in the GloMax
of Results.
1. After pressing the Start button on a Preset or User-Defined protocol, the user will be requested to provide
a name for the protocol run on a 'Start Protocol' screen. By default the name for the run will be the name
of the protocol with the current date and time appended to the end. Press the Start button on the 'Start
Protocol' screen to begin the protocol.
2. As a protocol is running, the plate map will automatically appear on the screen, and the data will appear as
they are collected. If multiple reads of the plate are performed, each result can be displayed by selecting the
step that generated that result in the left navigation column.
