The
Method Edit
screen (see figure below) is displayed after the
Select
button is
pressed from the
Gel Quantity
screen. The
Method Edit
screen allows you to
edit the following method parameters:
•
Step Duration
The maximum step duration is 24 hours. If the duration is set to zero, the
step will be deleted and all following steps will be moved up. If you set an
empty step to non-zero, the voltage, current, and wattage settings from the
previous line will be copied.

Load Check State
The Load Check state is either ON or OFF, and determines whether or not
the PowerEase
®
500 Power Supply unit will detect ‘No Load’ conditions. The
default value for Load Check is ON and is the recommended state.
•
Gel Quantity
The gel quantity limit determines the maximum voltage, current, and
wattage for the step. Values must be in the range of 1 to 500 volts, 1 to
500 mA, and 0.1 to 50 watts for one gel (the values for current and watts will
be reduced if multiple gels are selected).
If you have changed a pre-programmed method, the method will always run as
edited until you cycle back to the
Gel Method
screen. At this point the pre-
programmed method will revert to the default parameters.
To edit the parameters on this screen:
1. Press
the
Left
or
Right
arrow buttons to move the cursor between different
fields. As the cursor moves from field to field, a status message on LCD
display is updated to show the affected parameters if changes are made.
2. Use
the
Up
and
Down
buttons to adjust field values.
3. Press
the
Start
button to begin the run and change the display to the monitor
state. The
Stop
button takes you to the
Gel Quantity
screen (see page 7).
