Press Next, then key in the sample volume, press

ENTER.

Depending on the mode, you see one of three screens after pressing

Next.

Key in the value, press ENTER.

Optionally, for any mode, you can display the variables calculated

by the software by pressing Data.

Optionally, you can modify the flow rates; press Flow,

For any mode, key in a value for Asp flow, press ENTER, press Next, key in a value for Disp flow, press ENTER.

Optionally, for any mode, you can supply up to 12 reagents, press Reag, key in number of reagents, press ENTER.

Press Next, then for each reagent, key in volume press ENTER.

After the data are entered the Reag key changes to

REAG.
