Data File Name
The Data File Name group box is used to configure a file-naming
protocol for data files created in experiments. The file-naming protocol
applies to *.fmd (data) and *.png (image) files.
The base structure for file names is as follows:
Date_UserDefinedName_Barcode1_Barcode2_Barcode3_Barco
de4_ Barcode5_NNN.fmd
where NNN is an integer from 1 to 999. The integer value NNN starts at
001 and increments for each data file generated with the same base
data file name.
The date uses format: MMDDYYYY, where M = month, D = day, and
Y = year.
If a software crash or other error occurs during a run that interferes
with normal instrument operation, then a data file is automatically
stored as:
InterruptedExperiment_Date_Time_NNN.fmd
Folders
Use the two fields here to designate directories into which data and
export files will be saved.
By default, data, image and export files are stored under:
C:\Documents and Settings\[your user name]\My
Documents\Molecular Devices\ScreenWorks\MyData\
Change—An option that allows the user to pick a different directory.
Item Description
Include Date Check to include the date in the file name. It is checked by
default.
Note: To ensure that data files are not overwritten,
we recommend that this option remains checked.
Include Bar Code When selected, the bar codes of the first five plates used in
the experiment are included in the file names. If there are
fewer than five bar codes, then only those available are
used.
Note: Bar Code Expected must be selected for
the desired plate position in order for the bar code to
be incorporated.
User Defined
Name
