Creating a New Protocol
Follow these steps to create a new protocol:
1. Choose the base protocol (the currently selected protocol) from the Protocol pull-
down Button. You will duplicate the base protocol in order to create a new protocol.
If you have other protocols are available already, choose the one whose
parameters are closest to what is desired for the new protocol. If no custom
protocols exist on the machine, you must choose the Standard Protocol.
2. Touch the Copy Button. This will duplicate the protocol you selected in step 1, and
will copy the existing name and add a numeric prefix.
3. Touch the Rename Button to rename the newly created protocol to a more useful
name. Touching the Rename Button will display the Keyboard Screen on the
Angel System’s Touch Screen Display (see Figure 4-2).
4. Type in the new name for the protocol.
5. When finished, touch “
Enter ” to save the new name and return to the
“ Protocols ” tab.
6. Make changes to the protocol parameters.
Note: Any changes will automatically be saved.
7. It is recommended that most protocol changes concern only “ Default volume to
process ” and “ Hematocrit of the PRP product ” (the two topmost fields).
8. However, if the user needs to change more advanced values, the user may:
a. Touch the “ Modify RPM/Time ” Button so that the RPM and Spin Time
parameters are modifiable. Depending on which protocol you copied, this step
may not be necessary.
b. Touch a parameter box to activate it; this will highlight both the parameter and
the arrow keys.
c. Use the arrow keys to change the value of the parameter.
d. Any changes will automatically be saved.
9. If preferred, once the new protocol parameters are set, touch the “ Make this the
default (wakeup) protocol ” Button - to make the new protocol the wakeup
protocol (power up protocol).
10. Touch the Close Button to return to the previously displayed screen.
