In the Derived Gates tab, the Gates list contains the following columns:
 The "Gate name" column displays the name of the gate. The colour of
the font is the colour of the gate.
 The "Equation" column displays the equation for the gate. The contents
of this field are added to the parent gate equation to create the expanded
equation.
 The "Expanded Equation" column displays the full expanded equation for
the gate. The parent gate equation is shown in full.
The Edit Gates dialogue contains the following options:
 New Gate: Click the button to add a new gate. A gate with a default
name is added to the bottom of the gate list.
 Delete: Click the button to delete the currently selected gate. The
deletion of the gate will be aborted if you press the Cancel button on the
dialogue.
 Gate Name: To change the gate name, type in the new name in the field.
You should use gate names that are significantly different.
 Parent Gate: The Parent Gate drop-down list is populated with the
names of all available gates. To change the parent gate of the currently
selected gate, click the arrow to expand the drop-down list and select a
new parent gate from it.
When creating a new gate, the Parent Gate field can be used to simplify
gate equation creation. The field contains a list of all current gate names
and you can select one of these gate names rather than having to specify
the complete gate equation. If you wish to enter a full equation without
using a parent gate, you should select "Ungated" as the parent and then
enter the full equation into the Gate Equation field.
 Gate Equation: In this field, you can edit the gate equation. To display a
larger Gate Equation dialogue, press the ... button at the right of the field.
The operators AND, OR, NOT, XOR can be used to help define a gate
equation. The order of processing of these operators is NOT, AND, XOR,
OR. Use parentheses () to change the order of processing. Region
names and these operators are used to define a gate.
Quotation marks ("") must be used around region names that include
spaces, e.g. "CD4 Count" and around region names that use any of the
shortcut symbols or words that are listed above, e.g. "A XOR B" and
"A!B". The gate equation can include a maximum of 28 regions and 6000
characters.
 Gate Color: To change the gate colour, click the arrow to display the
colour control and select the desired new colour.
Always ensure that the colours assigned to the gates can be clearly
distinguished from each other. You should avoid using system colours as
they can be changed outside of the software.
