11.7 Manually Add Events (enter Solution Changes)
You can manually enter information such as the time, concentration and type of solution changes by
putting the cursor on the Add Event edit box (see bottom of Fig. 11.1.1A) and typing in the information in
the following form:
“min:sec.tenthsec HowMuch OfThis”
This information can be typed in before the event has occurred (subsequent Sweeps or Loops etc will be
inserted at their correct time before or after the entered information time). Or information can be typed in
after the event has occurred (where the information will be inserted at the correct time).
The Experimental Log can also be directly edited (without using the Add Event edit field), but this is
generally not a good idea to do while the MainProtocol is running (use the Add Event field instead), only
after the MainProtocol is finished.
Putting in the “min:sec” fields without the “.tenthsec” field is perfectly acceptable.
Putting in the “min” fields without the “sec.tenthsec” fields is also perfectly acceptable, provided the min
field is a whole number.
The following examples are correct:
“0:5 AP5”
“0:5.5 AP5”
“59” (but what’s the point?)
“59 AP5”
“59 100 AP5”
“59 100uM AP5”
“59:30 AP5”
“59:30.5 AP5”
“77 AP5”
“77:30 AP5”
“77:30.5 AP5”
The following are incorrect and should be entered as
“59.5 AP5” “59:30 AP5”
“1:17:15 AP5” “77:15 AP5”
“1:17:15.5 AP5” “77:15.5 AP5”
These will elicit the following Error message:
"ERROR: Input must be in the form of AnalysisTime and message, "mm:ss.t plus message", eg "40
50uM AP5" or "40:59.9 50uM AP5""
The following is correct, but will be taken as 1 min and 17 seconds, not 1 hr, 17 min
“1:17 AP5”
