base name. Using this option will ensure that no data is lost due to file
overwriting.
Folder settings
This area is used to assign the directories used in saving the data and
export files. There is no difference between settings for these
directories in remote control mode and in manual mode.
Running in remote control may produce large amounts of data.
ScreenWorks Software will not allow users to begin new assays if less
than 50MB of hard disk space is available. Hard disk capacity should be
monitored and adequate space to save data should be maintained.
Saving data across a network connection is not recommended in any
case. If a protocol is created which saves data across a network
connection, you may be unable to run the protocol if the network
connection becomes unavailable. If a protocol which saves across the
network is running when a network connection is interrupted, data may
be lost and the software may encounter problems.
Temperature Control settings
This area allows the user to set the temperature control set point for
the protocol. The instrument must already be at this set point prior to
running the assay.
If a protocol requiring temperature control is loaded and the
runexperiment command is sent, the software will confirm that the
instrument has achieved this temperature. If the instrument has not
achieved the temperature the software will respond with an error. If the
temperature has been achieved, the experiment will run.
Auto Print Options settings
In remote mode, problems with the printer may disrupt the continued
operation of the system. No automatic printing is recommended in
remote mode.
Analysis Screen
There are no special notes regarding the Analysis screen in remote
control. Setup this screen as you would for any manual assay.
It is very important to take care to set up groups, display, and
reduction settings prior to running a large number of plates. These
settings should be set in the protocol so that they are automatically
replicated in each data file as it is created. It will be very tedious to go
back to each data file and change these settings manually.
