This diagnostic allows you to modify the times used by the computer for the digestion processes. This can be helpful when
troubleshooting or demonstrating the instrument. If you press the Save to Permanent Memory button, the values you entered
will be saved until you change them again by using this diagnostic. If you do not press the Save to Permanent Memory button,

reset the values. A Reset from this Warning Screen is only temporary. Use the
Digestion Times screen in Diagnostics to make the reset permanent.
