* Switch on the machine and just click on `AUTO RUN`. The parameters that will be used are indicated in the screen. If you wish to change them just press `PROJ` and then change the parameters using the touch screen.
* Useful parameters to change are the current and the time for glow discharge. The vacuum level to be reached is set to 0.39mBar.
* You can decide also to run one of the preset programs.
    * To run a program press `MAIN` then select `PROTOCOLS` in the touch screen, then `RUN SCREEN` and `AUTORUN`.
    * There are 4 glow discharge programs with the following parameters:
        * PROGRAM 1. Glow discharge for 40 sec with a current of 20mA
        * PROGRAM 2. Glow discharge for 40 sec with a current of 15mA
        * PROGRAM 3. Glow discharge for 60 sec with a current of 20mA
        * PROGRAM 4. Glow discharge for 60 sec with a current of 21mA

* When making graphene oxide you can use PROGRAM 4. 
* When glow discharging positively using amylamine a shorter time (PROGRAM 1 or 2) is recommended. Remember to run an empty run after you used amylamine.
* Please do not change program setting without telling me. We can always decide to change these programs, but then we need to upgrade this sheet
