To create a new regimen, click on
Run
Wizard in the bottom left hand corner. This
option will bring up a step by step process of
creating a new regimen. Alternatively, follow
the sequence of steps below:
1) Type a regimen name in the box labeled
Regimen Name .
2) Choose the desired waveform shape
under Shape by clicking on the
downward arrow and selecting an entry
from the drop-down list.
3) Enter the desired
minimum and
maximum % elongation for the plate
membranes (0-26%) in the boxes under
Min and Max .
4) Enter the frequency for the waveform
(0.01-2 Hz) in the box under Freq .
5) If a static regimen is required, enter the
desired % elongation at which the
membrane is to be held in the
Max box.
Enter 0 in the Min box, and 1.0 in the
Freq box ( Min and Freq are irrelevant
for static regimens).
6) If a duty cycle for the waveform is to be
defined, enter the desired value in the
box under
DC % . The duty cycle is the
percent of time that the waveform shape
remains on at the high (square wave) or
rising (triangle) part of the waveform.
Duty cycle only affects the triangle and
square waves.
7) Enter the number of times for the
regimen to repeat (0-65,535) in the box
under
Cycles . When moving out this
box, the box underneath dd:hh:mm:ss
will update to the calculated regimen
time according to the set parameters.
Days:hours:minutes:seconds
is the
format for this entry. However, if the
time is entered first, the program will
calculate the number of cycles.
8) To make a regimen step (except for the
first step) return (jump back) to a
previous regimen step, enter the return
