Defining Fragment Analysis Parameters
The previous sections on
Creating a Study
described the application of saved
parameter sets to analyze raw sample data. The following sections will describe how to
edit a parameter set or create an entirely new set of analysis parameters to meet the
specific requirements of your samples.
Parameter sets are created or edited in the Fragment Analysis Parameters window.
This window contains a number of tabs in which you define the general parameter set
information, set locus tag parameters, select an analysis method to be used, assign
quantitation values, and define several other factors that will affect how your data will
be analyzed.
The Fragment Analysis Parameters window can be accessed while developing a Study
from within the Study Wizard (see the previous sections on Creating a Study). It can
also be accessed at any time while working within the Fragment Analysis module by
selecting the Analysis Parameters command from the Analysis menu.
In either option, the
Analysis Parameters
window is first displayed showing the
currently saved parameter sets available for selection. To create a new parameter set or
to edit an existing set, click on either the
New
or
Edit
buttons, respectively.
The
New
or
Edit Fragment Analysis Parameters
window will be displayed.
