# Answer Project questions

After selecting Take a Measurement, connect a MultispeQ if one is not already connected. Complete every required question before measuring.

Depending on the Project, a question may provide:

  • A list of text choices.
  • Image choices.
  • A text or numeric input.
  • A barcode or QR-code scanner.
  • A photo attachment.

Use Remember Answers for values that should remain the same across several measurements. Use Auto Increment only when the Project's numeric or ordered answers were designed for that workflow.

For barcode questions, select Scan Code with Camera, point the camera at the barcode or QR code, and confirm the detected value. For image-choice questions, select the image and label that represent the sample.

# Take and review a measurement

  1. Confirm the correct MultispeQ is connected.
  2. Answer all required Project questions.
  3. Position the sample as required by the Project protocol.
  4. Select Take Measurement. Some protocols begin immediately; others wait for the clamp to open and close.
  5. Keep the leaf and instrument steady until the measurement finishes.
  6. Review any warnings, calculated values, and traces.
  7. Select Accept to store the measurement locally or Discard to reject it.

Accepted measurements appear under Measurements. Depending on Settings, they are uploaded automatically or remain pending until Upload All is selected.

Protocol start behavior

Know how the Project protocol starts before positioning the leaf. Photosynthesis RIDES protocols normally wait for the clamp sequence, while other protocols may start immediately.
