2.13 Additional settings and options
This chapter explains how to change settings like date and
time and how to organize and manage your stored experi-
ments, results and custom programs.
2.13.1 Settings menu on the right
Activate the “Settings” menu by tapping on the gear icon on
the right on the home screen. A screen appears displaying a
list of setting options (Figure 2.41).
Depending on the available units, the available menu items
may differ (Figure 2.41 A or B).
To open one of the setting menus, touch the appropriate
field. Most of the menus are intuitive. The menus requiring
additional information are described below.

Units.
• Fill mode (only available if LV Unit is connected): The “Fill
mode” can be adapted when using the flow-through
catridge version, the LV Nucleocuvette
®
Catridge.
The standard fill mode “1” (default setting) calculates
with a slight overfill of the catridge to compensate for
variations in tube diameters and avoid an underfill, as
this can lead to arcing when using strong pulses. Since
this “overfill” strategy may also lead to some potential
dead volume, the filling strategy can be adapted for an
individual use case by selecting other fill modes from “2”
(moderate reduction of overfill) to “5” (strong reduction
of overfill). The user may keep the standard fill mode (1)
which safely avoids underfilling and arcing or try differ-
ent underfill levels to maximize the transfected volume
(knowing that this may cause arcing).
