3.4.5 Defining the analysis method
3.4.5.1 Selecting an analysis method
The Analysis Selection box in the Experiment Editor (also found in the Results Editor after the run
has finished) allows the user to define the method of analysis to be applied to readings gathered
during the PCR program.
• Analysis Selection box: Displays the stage name as assigned in the program setup and
any analysis method setup. Only those stages that have been assigned with reads (set in
the Program Editor as described in section 3.4.3.5) are displayed since stages without reads
have no data to analyse.
• Analysis wizards: Analysis can either be performed automatically using a series of default
settings or set and edited using the intuitive wizard function. This will lead the user through
each stage of the analysis setup.
Highlighting a stage name and pressing the Edit button will launch the Analysis Wizard and allow
a method to be assigned for that stage.
3.4.5.2 Assign the analysis method
Analysis methods can be set either before the run, or defined and/or modified after the run in the
Results Editor (section 3.7) using the parameters (PAR) functions.
• Double-click on a stage name, or highlight a stage name and press the Edit button to
launch the Analysis Wizard Selection screen.
