Creating Data Specific Gates

 

Assigning a gate to be Data Specific is accomplished in one of the following ways:

 

Option 1:

1. Click on the gate to convert to a Data Specific Gate (Figure 7.15 - Number 1) on a plot.

2. Click on the Gating tab of the Ribbon.

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

 

Option 2:

1. Click on the gate to convert.

2. Hold down the Shift button and move the gate to the desired position. This action converts any existing gate to a Data Specific Gate.

 

Option 3:

1. Choose Always create a Data Specific Gate when moving this gate at the time of creating the gate. Whenever the gate is adjusted a new data specific gate will be created.

 

Option 4:

1. Choose Automatically create a Data Specific Gate when moving gates or quadrants in the User Options. Whenever a gate or quadrant is adjusted, a new data specific gate will be created.

 

 

 

The Gate Navigator will now reflect the presence of a Data Specific Gate for File 4 (ApoMono.004 compensated) (Figure 7.16).

 

 

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 7.17.

 

 

 

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 7.18 - 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 7.19).

 

 

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 7.20).

 

 

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 7.21) - left).
