Units are available in a number of weight/time combination for both

Select each numeric value and unit type with the numeric keys and
up/down arrow keys. Press ENTER to save each entry field and

The line directly below the DOSE value and Unit line permits the
entry of the hard and soft limits for DOSE. With the highlighted
cursor just below ‘MAX’, enter the numeric value of any hard
maximum limit for DOSE desired. Pressing enter accepts this limit
and moves the highlight to the next. Enter limit values for the soft
‘High’ limit, soft ‘Low’ limit and hard ‘MIN’ limit as desired.

confirmation, MAX and MIN are
hard limits which cannot be
exceeded)

High, Low, and MIN as above.
