Chip data files
Chip data files (.xad) contain the following information:
• Measurement results
After each chip run, the measurement results—also called “raw data”—are
automatically saved in a new chip data file. Electrophoretic measurement results are
pairs of migration time and fluorescence intensity values, flow cytometric
measurements are triplets of migration time, red fluorescence, and blue fluorescence.
Raw data is also stored in packet files (.pck).
• Base assay information
Because a chip run is always based on an assay file, all information from the assay file
becomes part of the chip data file.
• Run log
Events occurring during the chip run, such as the start and end time, or any errors or
problems are entered in a “run log”, which is also saved in the chip data file.
• Evaluation information
These are modifications you made during data evaluation, such as modified gel
coloring, manually set markers, modified setpoints, modified result flagging rules, or
definitions of new markers and regions.
