Remember!
When building
your own
databases, strain
names must be
consistent when
you group
patterns. Using
inconsistent strain
names will result
in incorrect
database
groupings.
Data Management and Compiling Databases
Mark ( to select a record for copying )
Clear ( to de-select a record for copying )
• Once you have selected the Mark Record option, click on
the row to label the record in the spreadsheet. Note that the
same edit may rapidly be applied to many records by
clicking many records in succession.
• To mark or clear a large numbers of records
simultaneously, click one of the following buttons:
Mark All (to select all the records in the Data File)
Mark OK’s (to select for copying only those records
that are also ‘OK’ for compilation)
Clear All (to de-select all records )
• Click the Write Marked Recs to New File button to view the
Save Marked Data to this File save dialog.
• Enter the desired file name of the copy into the File name:
field. Click the Save button.
10. Click Freeze Data Records if you’ve finished editing the file and
want to save it as a “Read Only” file. This will create a file that is
non-editable until another backup copy is made (Backup Section 7,
page 2).
Compiling Data Files
The software also allows you to compile data files and produce
databases.
Producing databases
Be sure to save GN, GP, AN, YT, and FF MicroPlate-type readings in
separate files for database compilation. Certain features of the
compilation menu are specifically linked to MicroPlate type.
Choose the existing file to compile by clicking on the Data
Management File field on the Data Management window. A Data
File dialog box appears.
1. Click on the desired file name.
2. Click Open.
3. Click the Compile/View Data File selection bar on the Data
Management window. The Compile/Index/Data tabs appear,
defaulting to the Compile window.
