Methods and Batches in NanoSuite
In NanoSuite, a method contains all of the instructions for performing a
single experiment and analyzing the resulting data. A batch specifies
where, when, and how many times the procedure described in a
particular method is performed. For example, a batch may specify the
following: beginning at 2:00 a.m., the procedure described by Method A
should be performed ten times on each of two samples.
When you launch NanoSuite, both a default method and batch are
automatically loaded. For the first example of this tutorial, you will not
use either the default batch or the default method. For the second
example of this tutorial, you will use both the default batch and the
default method.
