Programming Guide 

 
 
The default screen on the BluePippin is a tabbed format.  The Protocol Editor is the 
second tab. 

 

7.1    Overview 

 
The protocol editor tab is the screen with which users create new protocols, or edit 
existing protocols, for DNA size selection.  A protocol is created for a cassette type 
(within the applicable target range) and is saved as a named protocol file 

with a “.ppprot” 

file extension. When running a cassette, an appropriate protocol file is selected and 
applied to the run.
