Assigning Methods
The method is the program of events the system uses to collect the data. The method
controls the hardware, i.e. the temperatures, voltages and times, which work together
to gather data. The system comes with several methods that are optimized for the
different software applications. The
Frag methods are used to collect data for fragment
analysis. The LFR methods are used to collect sequence data.
To assign a method to one sample set:
After creating a new sample plate, the Method selection for each column is left blank.
To assign a method, select a cell in the column with the mouse, then click the
down-arrow on the method selection list (see Figure 78) to select the method. Once a
method is chosen, the Method tab is activated and the method can be edited.
A method must be assigned to each named row before the sample plate can
be saved. If any named row is not assigned a method and a save is attempted,
a warning dialog will list each column that must be assigned a method.

1. Highlight the desired sample sets as explained in “Sample Selection’ on page 124.
