Protocol editing

Events
This tab allows you to give a command that will be executed when a protocol has been run.
The keyword should be in triangular brackets < > exactly as the examples given in the tab
show. These commands are then automatically replaced by the appropriate name or number
etc. after the assay run ends.
The first box specifies the executable to run, while the second box specifies the command-
line arguments to use. The button to the right of the first box lets you browse to find the
executable file you want to use. The button to the right of the second box again lists all the
valid keyword arguments that you can choose from, see
Keywords below.
For example, you can start an external spreadsheet running and have it execute the file
produced by the run. This file will be identified by e.g. protocol name or number. There are
also unique internal identifiers that the system gives for each protocol and assay run.
