iCys Cytometric Analysis Software Application Overview iCys Task Bar
Note: When you rescan virtual data, iCys generates a new Raw file of the same
name, but with a new Run ID. The new Raw file contains the new data
created by the rescan as well as any unchanged data from previous scans.
For more information, see Table 3-5, “Field Image Window Icons,” on
page 3-68.
Importing Scan Areas from an Existing File
➣ To import scan areas from a file:
1. Click the Import from File icon ( ).
2. The Open window displays.
3. Browse to and select the Event, Raw, or Workspace file from which you want
to import the scan areas. Keep in mind that you probably want the carrier
types to be identical.
4. The scan areas from the selected file are imported. Any existing scan areas are
deleted.
Importing Scan Areas From an XY Scattergram
1. Click on the Import Regions From XY Scattergram icon ( ).
2. The Import ScanArea dialog box displays. Select the regions you want to
import and click OK. Existing scan areas are not affected.
3. If the coordinates of the scattergram are not within the boundaries of the
defined slide, the scan area cannot be imported. If this occurs you may need to
“normalize” the XY scattergram. To do so, right-click the mouse while the
cursor is over the graph. Select Normalize XY from the menu. The graph axes
are readjusted to lie within the boundaries of the slide.
Selecting Scan Areas
After you have defined the scan areas in a freeform carrier, you can choose to
enable all scan areas in the carrier or to enable specific scan areas.
❍ Enabling a scan area makes it available for scanning
