Run Folder Name and Path
The run folder is the root folder for output from a sequencing run. During run setup, the software prompts you
to enter the path for the run folder. By default, the folder is named using the following format:
YYMMDD_<Computer Name>_<Run Number>_
<Flow Cell Side>
<Flow Cell ID>
Example:
110114_SN106_0716_A90095ACXX
The run number increments by one each time the instrument performs a sequencing run. The flow cell side (A
or B) and the flow cell ID entered during the run setup steps are appended to the run folder name.
The run folder is written to the output path specified during run setup. The temporary run folder for flow cell A
is written to the D: drive and the temporary run folder for flow cell B is written to the E: drive.
Tile Numbering
The HiSeq high output flow cell is imaged in 96 tiles on each lane, top and bottom, for each cycle. Each lane
has 3 swaths with 16 tiles per swath.
NOTE
A swath is a column of tiles within a lane of the flow cell.
The tile name is a 4-digit number that represents the position on the flow cell.
