Create or import a plate
Note: If you are running a stand-alone version of the software (a version that is not
installed on the instrument computer), you can create plates, then export them for use
on the instrument computer.
The software includes plate templates that you can use as a starting point to create a
plate (sequencing examples shown). Plate template names reect the run module
associated with the plate. The run module contains data collection seings.
Appendix Appendix B, “Run modules and dye sets“ lists the run time and size range
collected for each run module.
Y
ou can also create your own templates. In addition to dening plate parameters, a
plate template can also contain a list of the appropriate assays for an application. For
more information, see “Create a plate template“ on page 79.
The software includes factory-provided plate templates that you can use as a starting
point to create a plate (you can also create your own plate templates). In addition to
pre-dened plate parameters, a plate template can also contain a list of the
appropriate assays, le name conventions, and results groups for an application. For
more information, see “Create a plate from a template“ on page 42.
