Protocol Files
A protocol file contains the parameters of a Bio-Plex Manager
™
6.1 software
reading. It specifies the analytes used in the reading, the plate wells to be
read, sample information, the values of standards and controls, and
instrument settings.
When the reading is complete, the parameters in the protocol file are copied
into the Results file, along with the data from the reading.
You can save protocol files and reuse or modify them for other readings. Raw
data from the most recent reading is stored in the protocol file, and you can
generate a new Results file from this data.
