The Batch & Export Tab (Figure 3.20) contains three groups.

 

 

 

 

 

•Single Export

 

The Single Export items allow you to export your layout to a PowerPoint presentation or a PDF. In addition, you can save the current page or selected items as a Picture.

 

 

 

•Batch Export to PDF, Powerpoint, Excel, Prism,...

 

oWithin this group you may choose the following commands (all of the commands associated with this Tab are described in detail in the chapter on Batch Processing):

 

▪The Actions and Reports command brings up the Batch Actions and Reports window where you can set various actions associated with printing, reporting, and saving layouts (to various formats) while batch processing.

▪The Options command brings up the Batch Processing Options window where you can:

•Set the number of iterations to perform.

•Choose whether or not to run alerts before batch processing.

•Decide if you want to pause between iterations and which iterations to pause at if iterations are flagged or certain conditions are met.

•Restore the original files on the layout after batch processing.

 

▪Run - Run the defined "Actions and Report" on all samples starting from the currently loaded one.

•If Data Specific Gates have been defined, they will be automatically used.

•If the Apply Iteration Snapshots button is pressed (please see below), Iteration Snapshots will be used.

 

▪Review - Go through samples without exporting any action, allowing the user to review iterations.

•If Data Specific Gates have been defined, they will be automatically used.

•If the Apply Iteration Snapshots button is pressed (please see below), Iteration Snapshots will be used.

 

 

•Organize Data Sets

 

oThe Panels command brings up the Panel Information dialog for working with Panels.

 

oIn the Increment Value field, you can set the increment value, which is the number of files to increment after each iteration in a batch process. An increment value of 1 means to move to the next file.

 

oIn Number of Stationary Controls, you can set the number of files at the top of the Data List that will not change when Batch Processing or changing Iterations, but will be loaded into the layout if also defined as Stationary Controls within a Panel.

 

oThe Data List command brings up the dockable Data List window to process the list of current files (or custom data).

 

 

•Snapshots

 

oThe Apply Iteration Snapshot command allows you to move gates between iterations and have the gates' new positions remembered while navigating using the Next and Previous commands.

 

oThe Manual Snapshots command opens the Manual Snapshot Navigator window where you can take custom snapshots of your analysis on data files and apply that analysis to other files.  For example, a snapshot of a gate position may be taken, the gate position changed, and snapshot applied to go back to the original gate position.
