Creating Data Specific Gates

Assigning a gate to be Data Specific is accomplished from the Gating tab through the steps below:

1. Click on the gate to convert to a data specific gate (Figure 9.10 - Number 1) on a plot.

2. Click on the Gating tab of the Ribbon.

3. Select Create Gates→Data Specific Gates (Figure below - Number 2).

 

 

 

The Gate Navigator will now reflect the presence of a Data Specific Gate for File 4 (ApoMono.004 compensated) (Figure 9.11).

 

 

The shape and position of Gate 1 on File 4 can now be modified independently from the master gate (File 1 through File 3) Figure 9.12.

 

 

 

Deleting Data Specific Gates

A Data Specific Gate can be reverted back to resemble the Master gate (i.e. to loose its data specificity) in one of three ways:

Option 1:

1. Click on the gate that need to be reverted to Master gate (Figure 9.13 - Number 1).

2. Click on the Gating tab of the Ribbon.

3. Select Create Gates→Data Specific Gates (Figure below - Number 2).

 

 

 

Option 2:

1. Select the Data Specific Gate for the File in the Gate Navigator.

2. Press Delete.  

 

Option 3:

4. Right click on the Data Specific Gate in the Gate Navigator.

5. Select Delete Data Specific Gate(s)(Figure 9.14).

 

 

When a Data Specific Gate is deleted the Master Gate will be used on any files that had used the Data File Specific gate.

 

Promoting a Data Specific Gate to the Master Gate

A Data Specific Gate can be promoted to be the Master gate within the Gate Navigator:

1. Right click on the Data Specific Gate in the Gate Navigator.

2. Select Promote Data Specific Gate to Master from the right click menu (Figure 9.15).

 

 

When promoting a Data Specific Gate to Master Gate:

•All of the files that used the original Master Gate will use the Data Specific Gate.

•The original Data Specific Gate is removed from the Gate Navigator (Figure 9.16) - left).
