Data Acquisition
• Additional lines have been added to the sequence template after
acquisition of the already existing lines. The additional runs are to be
added to the already existing data.
Therefore, when the user selects Partial Sequence from the Sequence menu, a
dialog will come up providing him the option to either select an existing
sequence container from a list or to create a new sequence container.

However, in order to maintain consistency of the sequence container (so it
can be completely reprocessed in Data Analysis), only those sequence
containers are offered for partial acquisition that fulfill certain conditions:
• The name of the sequence template (source sequence) and the name of
the sequence .S file in the sequence container (target sequence) are
identical.
• Both the data path and the subdirectory have to be identical for the
sequence files.
• The number of sequence lines in the source sequence must be equal or
higher than the number of sequence lines in the target sequence.
• For each line in the target sequence the sample type and the number of
injections must be identical to the values in the corresponding lines of
the source sequence.
