For post-run editing of the Plate Setup saved in a data file:
1. From the Workshop module:
a. Click Data File above the directory of the home workshop. Navigate the directory
until the desired data file is found. Double-click the file name to bring the file
directly into the Data Analysis module.
or
b. Click Data File above the directory of the home workshop. Navigate the directory
until the desired data file is found. Click the file name once to open the plate
setup associated with the data file in the bottom right section of the Workshop
window. Click Analyze to bring the data to the Data Analysis module.
2. At the top of the Data Analysis window, click Edit Plate.
3. A modified version of the Plate Setup Editor will open (Figure 6.63). In this modified
window, you cannot add fluorophores to or remove fluorophores from the fluorophore
list. Nor can you add a previously defined fluorophore or remove a previously defined
fluorophore from a well.
Fig. 6.63. The Edit Plate Window.
4. Edit any notes about the plate setup in the Notes box.
5. Edit the name of the experiment in the Experiment Name box.
6. For most experiments the Whole Plate Loading box will be checked. With Whole Plate
Loading, changes made to any fluorophore within a well are extended to the other
fluorophores within the well and within the replicate group. If you are editing a plate, the
Whole Plate Loading checkbox may be unavailable because it is not appropriate based on
the current definition of the plate.
7. Click a fluorophore.
8. Click a sample type icon.
