• “NO” or “ONE”: Measure 1 capsule in the phantom.
• “ALL”: Measure the number of capsules that was entered in the One
Capsule Data Entry Screen.

capsules that was entered in the One Capsule Data Entry Screen
has been measured. Each capsule is measured for the number of
repetitions in the protocol.
If Pre-Dose Measurement has been performed, the distance displayed will be the distance
entered for the Pre-Dose Measurement and the prompt (>) will not be displayed.

throughout the study and cannot be changed.
