  4. Toggle on the "Heating Melt" option 
  5. Set your desired parameters:
    • Melt Starting Temperature (C°) Minimum starting temperature is 35C° 
    • Melt Ending Temperature (C°) Ending temperature must be greater than the starting temperature
    • Melt Increment (C°) Options include: 0.5C° or 1C° 
  6. Tap "Confirm"
  7. Return to your Home Screen
  8. Tap "Start Run" and select your newly created Heating Melt Curve protocol
