Protocol editing

If you have selected File output you must specify the file type from the drop down menu of
possible types. The types you can save files in are Excel 5 or later versions, Tab delimited
text or MultiCalc.
If the Include in output list box is checked, then it specifies which optional parts of the
assay run information should be included in the file saved when the measurement is
completed. These are the same as for printer output: List, Plate, Protocol description, Error
description, Notes.
You must also type in the file name. This can include keywords connected with the file as
described in
Events. The button to the right of the filename box gives you a list of all valid
placeholder arguments to choose from. Other filenames possibly used in other protocols are
also available through this button.
Note: you will not be allowed to change to another tab if an invalid placeholder argument is
found. However, if a previous file with the same file name exists, it will be overwritten by
the new file without warning.
