 Select the menu point "PROTOCOLS".
 Then select "EDIT PROTOCOL".
 The protocol screen is shown now.
 Then select "NEW". Here a selected protocol
can be loaded and altered via "LOAD". With

processed.
 The following entries must be made for a new
protocol in the field "Stepdata":
Step: The corresponding step is selected by
choosing the respective bath in the bath layout.
Name: The name of the selected bath for this
step is automatically shown here.
Description: A protocol description is entered
here.
Time: Time in minutes and seconds can be
entered here.
Time flex: The time a slide basket can remain
in a station in addition to the above-mentioned
time can be entered here ensuring an optimal
interlace. A smooth parallel run of several
programs can be carried out.
Note:
To load the baskets rapidly into the
instrument, the first step can be
entered as time uncritical in the bath
layout.

When entering a time-uncritical bath, a
minimum time can be entered. However, the
flexible time cannot be altered anymore.
