to access the required task and its parameters,

(ii)if you have entered a syringe correction factor in the configuration process, the Syringe Correction Screen appears first, after which you select ON or OFF using the Chge soft-key, press ENTER, and then Next, after which the Task Selection Screen appears; you can now access the screens for the task and enter the task related param- eters (see page 5-15).

When using the Edit function to create or edit a Method, you should press the Chge soft-key to select an option, then press ENTER to confirm the option selected. Pressing ENTER moves you auto- matically to the next screen. Press the Next soft-key to cycle forward through the screens, or press Prev to cycle backwards.

Saving a Method

When you have created, or modified your Method, you are prompted by the software as follows:

Normally you press Yes, and you are returned to the Run Screen. Other file manipulations are below.

File Manipulations (FILE)

Press the FILE soft-key, the File Menu Screen appears.

The use of the soft-keys is as follows: Del is used to delete a Method file, Copy is used to copy a Method file, Dir is used to access the file directory, Lock is used to enter your access code.

A plus sign (+) after the file number, indicates that the syringe correction function is ON. An asterisk

(*) means that the file is locked.

Delete a File

This action applies to the file currently selected; so to delete another file you must first key in the number of the file to be deleted and press ENTER. Press Del, the Delete Screen appears.
