8.1.1 File Paths Preferences
Each file created by the iQ5 software is destined to a specific folder location on your computer,
this is known as a “file path”. The File Paths preferences box (Figure 8.1) can be used to select
the folders that you wish to save your files into when logged into the iQ5 software. The default
File Paths for all users is a folder created with the current user’s User Name.
Fig. 8.1. The File Paths dialog box.
File Paths can be specified for: protocol files, plate setup files, run sets, data files and Multi file
Gene Expression Analysis Files (Gene Exp Path).
To set the file path to an existing directory, click the browse button and navigate to the
appropriate folder. To set the file path to a new directory, click the browse button, then click
Make New Folder in the Browse For Folder dialog box. A new folder will appear within the
currently selected folder (Figure 8.2). To rename this folder, right-click, select Rename, and then
enter the new name of the folder in the text field next to the newly created folder. Click OK when
finished.
NOTE: Changes to default File Paths DO NOT become active until the software has been
restarted.
