FluoroMax-3 v. 3.1 (3 Mar 2006)

Data Acquisition

4-2

Note:

Certain scan types are

not allowed with the Fluoro-
Max

®

, and are grayed out.

Note:

The list of subtypes de-

pends upon the general type of
experiment chosen.

Experiment Menu button

The

Experiment Menu

button chooses an overall type of experiment to run, such as an

emission scan, a phosphorimeter scan, a synchronous scan, etc., based on the instru-
ment and connected accessories, such as a temperature bath, MicroMax, etc. Only those
scans that can be run using the available hardware configuration are active; scans that
cannot be taken are grayed out.
