The active method—This is sometimes referred to as the current method. The settings
defined in this method are the settings the GC is currently maintaining.
Stored methods—User-created methods can be stored in the GC, along with one SLEEP
method, one WAKE method, one CONDITION method, an MS VENT method, and a default
method.
The method loaded becomes the active (current) method.
The GC front panel status indicator will be yellow (not ready) and will stay yellow until the
GC reaches all of the settings specified by the method that was just loaded.
