Chapter 3: Running Samples 73
Reusing the Analysis
Global worksheets allow you to apply the same analysis to a series of recorded
tubes. Once you define an analysis for a tube, use it to analyze the remaining
tubes in the experiment. After viewing the data, print the analysis or save it to a
tube-specific worksheet (see Saving the Analysis).
1 Move the current tube pointer to the tube Beads_002.
2 View the Beads_002 data on your analysis worksheet. Adjust gates as
needed.
; Tip Adjustments will apply to subsequent tubes viewed on the worksheet.
Avoid altering a global worksheet by saving an analysis to a tube-specific
worksheet, and making adjustments on the tube-specific worksheet.
3 Print the analysis.
Saving the Analysis
When an analysis is performed with a global worksheet, the analysis is not saved
with the tube.
; Tip If you define your analysis on a global worksheet before recording data, you
can specify to automatically save the analysis after recording data. This option is
set in user preferences.
To save a copy of the analysis of Beads_001 with that tube:
1 Expand the MyDataAnalysis global worksheet icon in the Browser.
2 Right-click on its analysis and select Copy.
3 Click the Worksheets View button ( ) on the Worksheet toolbar to switch
to the normal (tube-specific) worksheet view.
4 Choose Worksheet > New Worksheet to create a new normal worksheet.
