Reusing an analysis
Introduction This topic describes how to use 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.
To save a copy of the analysis with a tube:
1. Expand the MyDataAnalysis global worksheet icon in the
Browser .
