the window is always present (beside the button) and saves the current Plot Manager contents to a
*.cmpm file placed in a PM Files folder. This requires that all rows in the Plot Manager have been saved. All
unsaved rows may be saved by right clicking in the gray area in the top of the Plot Manager. The file name
is user defined via the edit field to the right of the ‘save’ button.
Three types of files may be added to Plot Manager with the following effects:
1. Image files: These are image files (*.cm) on which no data processing, referred to as post
processing, has been performed. If no previous post processing has been saved, the new row will
only show a row window in the left side of the Plot Manager window. If previous post processing
has been saved for this image, this post processing will also be shown in the added row. See the
description about the row window for details about which cell population data is loaded.
2. Post processing files: A post processing file (*.cmpp) holds post processing results for a particular
image file and has the same file name and is placed in the same location as the associated image
file. The *.cmpp file location may alternatively be in a special folder named Master Files which is
accessible via the image browser. Such Master files are used when replication of post processing to
other data files is needed. Using the Protocol Adaptation Wizard to add user specified post
processing to a user adapted protocol results in special “cmsu_*.cmpp” files.
3. Plot Manager files: Plot manager files *.cmpm holds data for a complete plot manager session, i.e.
for any number of images.
Right-click option: Right-click in the gray area in the top of the Plot Manager to see the option:

Show hidden rows: Toggles between showing and hiding rows marked as hidden.

Save unsaved rows: Saves all unsaved rows.
