Reusing an analysis
Introduction
This topic describes how to use a global worksheets to apply the same analysis to a series of recorded tubes.
Once you define an analysis for a tube, you can use it to analyze the remaining tubes in the experiment. After
viewing the data, print the analysis or save it to a normal worksheet.
Reusing an analysis
To reuse the analysis:
1. Set the current tube pointer to the Beads_002 tube.
2. View the Beads_002 data on your analysis worksheet. Adjust the gates as needed.
Adjustments apply to subsequent tubes viewed on the worksheet. To avoid altering a global worksheet, save
an analysis to a normal worksheet, then make adjustments on the normal worksheet.
3. Print the analysis.
Saving the analysis
When you perform analysis with a global worksheet, the analysis does not save with the tube.
If you define your analysis on a global worksheet before recording data, you can specify to automatically save
the analysis after recording data. You set this option in User Preferences.

1. Expand the MyDataAnalysis global worksheet icon in the Browser .
2. Right-click its analysis and select Copy.
3. Click the Worksheets View button on the Worksheet toolbar to switch to the normal worksheet view.
4. Select Worksheet > New Worksheet to create a new normal worksheet.
5. Right-click the Beads_001 tube icon in the Browser , and select Paste.
The analysis objects from the MyDataAnalysis global worksheet are copied to the Beads_001_Analysis
