or information, see “Instrument protocol settings“ on page 163.
Basecalling Protocol
(sequencing)
Protocol for basecalling, trimming, and quality determination.
For information, see “Basecalling protocol—Analysis settings“ on page 176.
Sizecalling Protocol
(fragment analysis)
Protocol for primary analysis (peak detection and sizing) and quality determination.
For information, see “Sizecalling protocol—Analysis settings“ on page 181 .

File Name Conventions library
A File Name Conv
ention (FNC) species the naming convention for sample data les.
It is an optional component in a plate.
If you do not specify a le name convention, data les are named in this format:
<sample name>_<well>
The le extension is determined by the application you run:
• Sequencing—.ab1 (you can also set Preferences to export additional le formats.
See “Set preferences (optional)“ on page 36.)
• Fragment analysis—.fsa
• HID—.hid
Note: The le location specied in a le name convention is used only if a results
group is not specied for a well.
