5.3 Manual Mode Measurement
The "Measurement" tab page of the "Manual Mode"
The "Measurement" tab page of the "Manual Mode" is used to perform TEVC experiments
"manually". Manually means that - although everything is still controlled by software - all steps
like movements of carrier and z-axis, impalement, voltage clamp, solution exchanges can be
realized with single commands under full control by the experimenter.
For different purposes it is useful to make experiments manually:
 To test the quality of oocytes before starting automated, script-controlled experiments.
 To test the expression before going automatic.
 To test new IV protocols or solution exchange sequences before implementing them into a script.
 To find an optimal impalement procedure for a given batch of oocytes.
