Using the produKEY
The Evolution Dissolution System comes standard with data access keys referred to
as a produKEY. These keys allow methods to be quickly copied to multiple units
without having to reprogram method settings. They also provide a way to backup
calibration data in case of a unit failure.
The unit comes with two produKEYs: one to store methods and another for saving
calibration data. Additional produKEYs are available from Distek. Each produKEY
is capable of storing up to five methods.
