Run Filenames
When the ICS saves data at the end of a run, it uses the information you enter in the fields in
the above table to name the file. It creates one file per lane in a folder named for the Run ID,
as follows:
The filename for one lane of a run looks like this:
<Run ID>-<Lane Letter>-<Lane Description>.fcs
For example: 1302181535-A-ExampleDescription.fcs
The Run ID is the numeric run number from the upper right corner of the ICS screen. It
appears on both the Run Data tab and the Run Info tab. See
for more information.
