addition to these customization options, there is also a frames-per-
second parameter that can be adjusted from a minimum of 1 to a
maximum of 30 frames per second. When the mouse is placed over this
control, a thumbnail preview of the movie at the selected frame rate is
shown as an aid.
As mentioned when discussing the Export Design window, perhaps the
most important tool found in the Export Designer is launched via the

7.8 Archiving
Vessel image data, plate maps, analysis jobs and all associated data are stored on the IncuCyte™
controller. While the ≈10TB of controller hard drive space is sufficient for retaining a significant
amount of data, users will eventually be required to clear space in order to continue acquiring
and processing data. All vessel information can be “backed up” through a process called
