Figure 34. Save Format selections.
MPM Format Only
Under Save Format, select MPM format only. When you click on Run, you will be
prompted to select a base file name for the resulting Data Files. File names are
constructed by appending two digits to the base file name (e.g., test-01.mpm, test-
02.mpm, etc.). Enter the base file name and select the directory in which to save the
files.
If you scan a bar code number on each plate, the Data File name will also be
appended with that number (e.g., for bar code number ABC123, the resulting file
name would be test-01-ABC123.mpm).
MPM and Export Format
In addition to creating MPM files of your Multiple Plate data, you can export such
data in ASCII text file format, for analysis in other applications (such as Excel).
Under Save Format, select MPM and Export format. The first time you select this
option, the Multiplate Export Options dialog box will open. You can also open this
dialog box by clicking on the Export Options… button.
