8.2 Selecting a Database and Loading a Plate File
In Roboocyte2 data acquisition software a raw data file is generated "*.r2" during recording
from a well plate file, and all information gathered during the recording is stored in the active
database. In order to analyze data you have to select the respective database and load the plate
file that has been recorded into this database. When you start the Roboocyte2+ program for the
first time, the database presently active in the Roboocyte2 program will be selected automatically.
As soon as you select another database in Roboocyte2+, this database will be remembered and
loaded automatically when you start Roboocyte2+ next time.
