Exporting Data for Analysis
When the run is finished, the fluorescence data needs to be transferred to a computer running
CFX Manager software for analysis. The stand-alone data file is automatically saved to the
RT_DATA folder located in the SYSTEM folder (Figure 55).
Figure 55. RT_DATA folder stores real-time PCR runs.
Data can be transferred to the analysis computer using a USB key, or it can be emailed directly
to the computer using the SMTP server once an email connection is configured.
NOTE: The C1000 stores up to 20 real-time PCR experiment runs.
Exporting Data Using the USB Key

will automatically be saved to the root directory of the USB key.
If a USB key is not in the thermal cycler at the end of the run, follow these instructions:
