Browser toolbar buttons
New... To create a new User, Project, Method, Run, Queue or Compare depending on which icon
within the Browser is highlighted.
Open... Allows you to open a selected Method or Run from the database tree. Opening a Run allows
you to view, analyze, and print the run data.
Edit... When a User or Project is selected, Edit allows you to change that User name or Project
name and/or description.
When a Method or Run is selected, Edit copies the currently open method, renames it and
places it in the Protocol Editor for editing. The new method is assigned a default name
(<method name>.<version number>) that can be changed by the user.
Summary items are not editable.
Delete Eliminates Users, Projects, Methods and Runs from the Browser. To delete a Method, you
must first delete all of the Runs associated with the method.
You cannot delete methods or runs from method and run summaries.
Print To generate and print the report for a run.
CopyOut... Allows you to copy Methods and Runs to floppy disk or to another location on your
computer’s hard drive. The CopyOut function is used for backup and archiving purposes and
to transfer data between DuoFlow systems.
Copied out files are stored in a file with the default name biologic.zib, which is a compressed
file format to conserve disk space. The copy out function copies the User, Project, and
Method names associated with each.
Initiating a CopyOut to floppy disk completely erases the contents of the floppy disk.
To copy out, highlight the runs you wish to copy out. Press the CopyOut... button on the
Browser toolbar. A dialog box appears that allows you to select the destination of the .ZIB
file (either the hard drive or a floppy disk). Choose the destination and press OK.
