Alternatively, if you have not ordered an Advanced Mode license, at the end of the 2 month Demotrial
Period you will automatically enter the Basic Mode partially functional Protocol Builder (Fig. 7.1.1, right).
Only the green Insert Event buttons can be used and still save ADsweep data. These include ‘AvgLoop’,
‘Loop’, ‘P0sweep’ and P1sweep events. If you use the yellow Insert Event buttons, the ‘Run’, ‘ElseRun’,
‘Tosweep’ ‘T1sweep’ and ‘Delay’ events, your protocol will run perfectly OK, except that the
ADsweep data will not be saved. This allows you to easily test the Advanced Mode functions to
see if it is worthwhile upgrading to the Advanced Version.
In Chapter 7 we will focus on using the fully functional Protocol Builder of the Demotrial and Advanced
Mode.
You can ‘write’ a simple repetitive P0sweep protocol, by clicking the ‘Init’ Protocol button (see Fig.
4.4.1.1, left top panel). Or you can ‘write’ a repetitive P0sweep with signal averaging protocol by clicking
on the Init ‘Avg Protocols’ button (Fig. 7.1.1).

AvgLoop, Loop, Delay, P0sweep, P1sweep, T0sweep, and T1sweep lines can be dragged down into the
script area. Drag the Run, RunElse, AvgLoop, Loop, Delay and Sweep lines to the Delete button to
remove them from the protocol. The Advanced Mode (left panel) shows all the insert buttons functional.
The Standard Mode (middle panel shows all the insert buttons functional except the automated perfusion
buttons (Slow0, Slow1, Fast0 and Fast1). The Basic Mode (right panel) shows only the AvgLoop, Loop,
P0sweep and P1sweep insert buttons functional.

on the appropriate User Interface Insert button by pressing the left mouse button and drag it into the
script area between two exiting lines and release the left mouse button (see also Fig. 4.4.1.1, bottom
