Methods in Biacore T100 offer flexibility in instrument control, providing support
for applications that cannot conveniently be handled with wizards. Methods are
constructed with the
Method Builder tool as described in this chapter. Templates
from application wizards can be opened in Method Builder (Section 5.1) to
provide a starting point for development of customized applications. Method
examples are provided with the software installation.
5.1 Opening methods
To open an existing method or create a new method, choose File:Open/New
Method.
Select a method and click Open to open the method, or click New to create a
new method. Predefined methods for common applications are provided in the
folder
Biacore Methods . If you make changes to a predefined method, you must
save your changed method under a new name.
Check Show importable wizard templates to display wizard templates that can
be opened in Method Builder. Opening a wizard template imports all wizard
settings into a method and allows you to add functionality that is not supported
in the wizard. Templates from all wizards except immobilization can be imported
into Method Builder.
The top-level folder for methods is defined under Tools:Preferences (see
Section 2.4). You can navigate between subfolders under the top level in the
dialog box, but files outside the top-level folder are not listed in the dialog box.
Click
Browse to navigate freely in the computer file structure and open methods
stored in other locations.
