2.2 The first force calibration
Prior to shipping, the Wire Myograph System has gone through two days of continuous testing including final force calibrations.
However, DMT recommends that a new force calibration is performed before using the Wire Myograph System. The force calibra-
tion procedure is described in detail in chapter 3.7.1.

3. Turn on the Power:
Turn on the power to the Wire Interface at the power switch and then turn on the computer. Start the data acquisition pro-
gram on the computer and the Wire Myograph System is now ready for use.
4. Gas supply:
Connect the pipes for gas supply on the Confocal Wire Myograph 360CW chamber cover (see figure 2.3) to an adjustable
gas supply using thin silicone tubing. For the Wire Myograph 320A connect the pipe for gas supply on the Wire Myograph
side, see figure 2.4.
5. Suction connection:
Connect the suction pipe on the Confocal Wire Myograph 360CW chamber cover (see figure 2.3) to a vacuum pump via a
suction bottle and the electronic vacuum valve (optional). For the Wire Myograph 320A connect the suction pipe on the Wire
Myograph side, see figure 2.4.
6. pH electrode (optional):
Connect the pH electrode to the pH port on the rear of the Wire Interface.
