Set the default save location for results
This option sets the default save location for results. This setting is saved for each user.

instrument, the plate file is saved on the instrument only.

When you create or link a plate file, you can change the default save location.
If the plate file is linked by another user, the save location is retained, but updated for the other user's
default location, if specified.
Example:
• User 1 default save location is Instrument; Network drive with Location A specified on the
network
• User 2 default save location is Instrument; Network drive with Location B specified on the
network.
• User 1 creates a plate file.
• User 2 links the plate file. The save location of Instrument; Network drive is retained, but is
updated to Location B.
Manage storage space
Automatic file cleanup (aut
opurge)
Before starting a run, the instrument calculates the total amount of storage space required to save the
results on the instrument. If the required storage space is not available, the instrument identifies the
oldest run histories that have been saved to a location other than the instrument, or that have been
manually exported. It deletes these run histories until sucient space is available (this function is also
referred to as autopurge).
If the required storage space is not available and no run histories have been saved to a location
other than the instrument or exported, the instrument displays a notification indicating that there is not
enough storage space.
To proceed, export run histories for older plates, delete run histories, then start the run again. For
information, see “Export results from the instrument—Results and data files, logs, and reports” on
page 171 and “Delete a run history” on page 469.
