Chapter 8 Acquiring Samples
Exporting FCS and RLST Data Files
You can export FCS files for analysis in third-party software. You can export the FCSfile for a single
position on the plate, for multiple positions, or all positions. Everest Software also allows you to export
other associated data files such as run list and telemetry files.
Everest Software creates a folder in the default D:\EverestUsers folder labeled Export into which all
files saved. The files are saved into a subfolder the name of which comprises the username,
experiment name, session date, and revision number. For example:
D:\EverestUsers\Export\vbala-5Color_2-20180125-1421
Note: Because all sessions are included when exporting the full experiment to a compressed ZIP
file, the software labels the file with only the username and experiment name. For example:
D:\EverestUsers\Export\vbala-5Color_2.zip
Important: Exported data that do not include the full experiment (including the run list, telemetry,
and all FCS files) do not appear in the Recent Experiments panel on the Home window.
Exporting the FCSData File for a Single Position
This procedure explains how to export only the FCSfile for a single position on the plate. You can also
export the FCS and related data files for a single position. See Exporting FCS and RLST Data Files on
page 290.
To export the FCSfile for a single position on the plate data to FCS and RLST
1. Click Export Data in the Tools section of the Acquisition toolbar or the Share section of the
Analysis toolbar.
The Export Data dialog box appears.
