Setup Button
Used to enter the basic parameters of an experiment (Figures 5-10 and 5-11). The
parameters are as follows:
• Injection or Pulse Interval
The time interval, in seconds, between injections or electrical pulses.
• Injection Volume or Pulse Size
The size in µL for an injection or µJ for a pulse.
• Number of Injections or Pulses
The number of injections or electrical pulses required for the experiment.
Monitor Tab
Figure 5-12 shows the Monitor tab. This tab allows the user to view data being collected
by the N-ITC III on a virtual strip chart. When you rst start the ITCRun program,
data from the ITC scrolls slowly across the screen but is not saved. Only when the
Experiment⇒Start button is clicked or the Go icon is chosen, will the displayed data be
saved to a le. The Monitor strip chart is used so that the user can watch this unsaved
data in order to judge when the N-ITC III is equilibrated or ready to begin an experiment.
