Workflow with Unique Folder Creation switched off
Selecting Unique Folder Creation Off has the following impact on data storage:
• Sequence data are not acquired into a sequence container, but directly
into the subdirectory as specified in the Sequence Parameters ( Figure 4
on page 14). Therefore, the sequence name pattern is grayed out on the
Sequence tab of the Preferences dialog ( Figure 18 on page 37).
• This means that for two or more sequence acquisitions the data may be
acquired into the same subdirectory. This implies the risk to overwrite
existing data, but on the other hand allows to split sequences using
partial sequence execution and still combine the results in one folder
(which would not be possible with Unique Folder Creation switched
on).
• No sequence methods (.M) or copies of the sequence file (.S) are stored
with the data, but only the sequence logfile and the batch file (.B). This
means only the methods and sequences in the paths specified in the
Preferences dialog ( Figure 2 on page 12) are available. They have to be
used for acquisition as well as for data review and reprocessing.
Sequence or data file specific method changes can only be stored by
saving the method with different name. Otherwise these changes are
also applied to the acquisition method. On the other hand, this may be
desired behavior during method development.
• There are no data file specific methods ACQ.M and DA.M stored. Saving
information about the original acquisition is only possible by including
this information in the report or by selecting Save Method with Data from
the method’s runtime checklist (Figure 19 on page 39). With this option
the acquisition method will be stored as RUN.M in each data file.
