 The final SOP in the list (Hydro LV - SOP 3) is used to control the clean
sequence. The dispersion unit, measurement and analysis settings for each
SOP in the list are applied in sequence when the playlist is run.
 SOP playlists can be opened and saved using the options at the top
of the SOP playlist. Playlist do not have to be saved before they are run, but a
prompt will be displayed to ask if saving the playlist.
 Once the list is set up, the sequence can be run by clicking OK.
 The new playlist will be saved into the workspace window.
When the sequence is now playing, the current SOP name is reported in the win-
dow bar of the measurement manager:
Apart from the additional playlist bar, the measurement will run in a similar way to
standard SOP measurements.
