Under Data Labeling, select if and how you want to label the values reported for the
wells in a plate.

You can export additional information for each plate by selecting from the list of
Additional Labels. Double-click on the desired plate label in the Available column to
move it to the Selected column. Double-click on an item in the Selected column to
move it back to the Available column. (You can also click on a label once to
highlight it, and use the Add>> and <<Remove buttons to move it between
columns.)

Add All>> and <<Remove All will move all the available plate labels between
columns.

When you are finished selecting your export options, click on OK to close the dialog
box.

When you click on Run in the Protocol window, you will be prompted to select a
base file name and directory for the resulting data and export files. Note that export
files are saved under the same base file name as the MPM format files (see above),
but with a .txt extension, unless you have selected the master file option in Multiplate
Export Options
. For example, if you have selected the Per plate export option, and
entered a base file name of "test," each plate read would create an MPM Data File
(test-01.mpm, test-02, mpm, etc.) and an exported text file (test-01.txt, test-02.txt,
etc.).

Absorbance Delay and Ratio Delay

Absorbance Delay delays data collection until a well that you select reaches a
specified level of absorbance. To access the controls for this feature, click on the
Absorbance Delay button.
