Heat Menu Timer/Alarm Menu Setting Menu 3.4 Zero Menu Is used to zero the output from the force transducer. Pressing ZERO will reset the baseline of the chart traces without affecting the calibrations. WIRE MYOGRAPH SYSTEM - 360CW/320A - USER MANUAL...
3.5 Heat Menu The heating temperatures are controlled from this menu. To turn the heat on, or to change the temperature for the system, press HEAT in the Main Menu. The Heat Menu will be displayed allowing the user to change the system temperature, as well as turn the heat on or off.
• Place the calibration bridge and T-balance on the Wire Myograph (see figure 3.1 for 360CW or 3.2 for 320A) allowing it to be warmed up together with the Wire Myograph. Turn on the heating in the Heat sub-menu to the appropriate temperature used during your experiments •...

Step 3 - Place the pH electrode and temperature probe in the low buffer solution (here pH 4) and turn on stirring. When the relative pH output in the blue line is stable, press NEXT STEP. WIRE MYOGRAPH SYSTEM - 360CW/320A - USER MANUAL...
Step 4 - The calibration is now finished. The readings in the two bottom lines are the actual pH and temperature readings. 3.7.3 Select Analog Output (optional) The Analog Output Menu determines what will be sent to the BNC analogue output (REC 1, REC 2 REC 3, REC 4 at the back of the Wire Interface).
