This chapter describes the procedure to operate the Waveform
Generator and to use the Intradermal Electrode.
5.1 Experiment Delivery
The user operates the system via the front panel touch screen.
When the power is turned on, the system boots up, and displays
the opening screen. The system is immediately ready for use. All
data logs produced for a vaccine delivery will be automatically
placed on a USB Key if one is inserted into an open slot on the
front panel. The user must ensure the USB Key is inserted before
the Protocol Delivery Screen is displayed, as the protocol pulsing
is started.
If the user does not have a USB Key inserted at run time, all run
history log files can be retrieved at a later time from the log files.
5.1.1 USB Key/Memory Stick
The USB key can be inserted into either of the two USB ports
that are located on the front panel of the waveform generator. It
should be inserted before delivering pulses and can be removed
at any time after the “saving data” message disappears. The
USB key may be removed without performing any additional
procedures. The data logs that result from a experiment are
automatically stored on the Key.
5.2 Intradermal Array (IDA) Electrode
The IDA Electrode consists of two parts: The Handle and the Tip.
5.2.1 IDA Electrode Handle
The Handle consists of an assembly into which the tip is placed
and a permanently attached cable. The cable is connected to the
Waveform Generator. The Handle is made of a durable plastic.
It is not sterile and may be cleaned with alcohol. The Handle is
reusable.
