Note: The Skip Preview field selection is used to toggle the display of the Preview
(i.e., Skip Preview is set to No) and Count (i.e., Skip Preview is set to Yes) buttons.
Data Tab: Selects the Data Analysis workflow. You must first select a scan result to
view its count results. You can then fine-tune assay parameter settings to perform a
recount and create a new scan result. See Analyzing Scan Results starting on page
37 for more information.
Use the Select Result button located in bottom left corner of the screen
to return to the previous screen in the process. Tapping the Data tab while already
in the workflow no longer returns to the previous screen as it did in earlier releases.
Manage Tab: Contains the various system lists of favorites, assays, cell types, ACS
templates and report templates used in the Data Acquisition and Data Analysis
workflows.
• In the Favorites screen you can view the library of favorites available in your
system, import or export favorites, manage the list of favorites, as well as create
new favorites or modify existing favorite details.
Favorites enable users to select previously saved counting parameter settings
and instantly run samples without having to choose an application, thus
bypassing the setup process and possibly the Preview screen (if Skip Preview
feature is enabled). Scans that are performed frequently can be run with
minimal software interaction.
• In the Assays screen you can view the library of assays available in your system,
import or export assays, manage the list of assays, as well as create new assays
or modify existing assay details.
• In the Cell Types screen you can view the library of cell types available in your
system, import or export cell types, manage the list of cell types, as well as
create new cell types or modify existing cell type details.
• In the ACS Templates screen you can view the library of ACS templates available
in your system, import or export ACS templates, and manage the list of ACS
templates. ACS templates cannot be created or viewed in the Matrix software.
ACS Templates can be used for populating data into specified formats when files
are generated on export. If the Auto Open export option is also selected, the
De Novo Software FCS Express application (if installed on your system) is
launched for viewing the output file.
• In the Report Templates screen you can view the library of report templates
available in your system, import or export report templates, manage the list of
report templates, as well as create new report templates or modify existing
report template details.
See the Cellometer Matrix Software User Manual for details on using the Manage
tab options.
