Saving Data Files as Protocol Files
When the active file is a protocol file, you can add, remove, or change
processes in the file, then save the amended protocol and run it.
Protocol information stored in data files cannot be edited, nor used to
run a new experiment, however it is possible to extract this information
to a new protocol file. Experiments run using this file will have exactly
the same steps as the steps used to create the data file.
To store a data file as a protocol file, select Save As, assign a protocol
name, select *.fmp as File Type and click Save. The stored file is
stripped of all data and only associated protocol information is stored in
the protocol file.
View Menu
View menu commands enable you to select which displays to show or
hide in the ScreenWorks Software main window.
The keyboard shortcut is Alt+V.
Note: Saved changes only affect the protocol. The data file from
which the protocol was derived remains intact.
