Applying Parameter Math
Contents
The new parameters derived by Parameter Math can now be applied to any plot or data grid in FCS Express, and they can be chosen from the list of available parameters (Figure 29.10 below). Please note only one transformation may be applied at a time for each plot or data grid selected.

Once parameter math has been used to define new parameter(s), it may be applied to any plot and data grid in FCS Express. Standard gating and statistics may be used to study the result of the parameter math.
Note: When Parameter math has been applied, the text "Parameter Math applied" will appear in the plot title.
Parameter math may be applied to 1D and 2D plots by either of the following methods:
•Drag and drop a parameter math from the Transformations navigator to the intended plot (Figure 29.11).

•Access the Formatting Overlays dialog and choose the parameter math to apply from the Transformation drop down list (Figure 29.12).

Parameter math may be applied to data grids by any of the following methods:
•Drag and drop a parameter math from the Transformations navigator to the intended data grid (Figure 29.13).

•Access Formatting dialog for general options. Data Options→select parameter math to use from Transformation drop down list→OK. (Figure 29.14).

•Right-click data grid→Show Transformed Values→select appropriate parameter math from menu.(Figure 29.15).
