Temperature
The manifold lowers the temperature probes into the media. When the 
selected vessel start temperature has been reached, the method starts. If 
no manifold is present, this option cannot be selected.
Bath Temperature  The method starts once the water bath has reached its selected start 
temperature (708-DS only).
Manual Dosage Place a check in this box to indicate dosage forms will be introduced 
manually. A visual display will appear on-screen indicating when the 
user should drop dosage forms into each vessel.
DVH Preheat This option is enabled for the 709-DS Direct Vessel Heating. Each test 
will require an initial temperature stabilization if accurate temperatures 
are desired throughout the test. Remove the check from this box if 
temperature control is not required (709-DS only).
