To set an instrument up:
| 1) | Connect the USB Dock Station to the computer and insert the M.O.L.E. Profiler into the dock cradle. Refer to the Communications Setup topic for your specific M.O.L.E. Profiler for more information. |
| 2) | Set an Environment related for the type of experiment that is being performed. Either open an existing Environment Folder or create a new one. |
