Batch Commands

 

This panel determines the actions that are performed when an FCS file is read into the program for analysis. There is a tab for each "level" in the batch, so that you can set up different actions for different kinds of files.

 

 

Select a tab to view or edit the actions for the associated batch level.

 

Commands that appear on each tab

Enable

Enable the actions defined on this tab.

Level Name

A name for this level

Description

A description for this level

 

Initialize and Open

Template

Open a specific GemStone model template.

Open Template Options

Set options for opening the template, including the file name and path. See Properties for File Open and Save for additional details.

Compact File

For FCS files from Fluidigm instruments, this option will re-write the FCS file eliminating extraneous segments from the file.  It will have no effect on other FCS file types.

Read File

Read the FCS file associated with this batch item.

Panel Tube Options

Select the option that describes the files on this level of the batch:

Options

 

One Tube

This file represents the only tube in the panel.

First Tube

This is represents the first tube in a multi-tube panel.

Subsequent Tube

This is represents the second or greater tube in a multi-tube panel.

 

Analysis

Auto Analyze Data

Initiate the Auto Analysis command after the file is read.

Enrich Data

Initiate the Enrich Data command after the file is read.

Classify File

Initiate the Classify File command after the file is read.

Update Cen-se'

This command updates the Summary map and the Cen-se' plot to display named populations and cell types.

 

Finish Up

Pause

Enable this option to pause batch processing before printing, saving, and continuing to the next file. When this command is triggered, a dialog is displayed indicating that processing is paused. The dialog shows a count-down timer and will automatically close and continue after the timer runs out. If the user clicks away during the pause, the timer is shut off and the program will wait until the user clicks the Continue button before it advances.

Print Report

Print the report.

Save Document

Save the analysis document after the analysis.

Save Document Options

Set options for saving the document, including the file name and path. See Properties for File Open and Save for additional details.

Save PDFs

Save PDFs for reports.

Save PDF Options

Set options for saving PDFs, including the file name and path. See Properties for File Open and Save for additional details.

Save Graphics

Save graphics for objects that have been selected.

Save Graphic Options

Set options for saving graphics, including the file name and path. See Properties for File Open and Save for additional details.

Save Database

Save the database after each analysis.

Save Database Options

Set options for saving the database, including the file name and path. See Properties for File Open and Save for additional details.

 

Synthesize Data

Synthesize Data

If enabled, new data values will be synthesized based on the selected options. This option is typically used along with the Export FCS options to create and export synthetic data for experimentation.

Synthesize Data Options

This command displays the Properties for Synthesize Data dialog.  This dialog is used to set how much to vary the intensities of populations when synthesizing data.  The range of intensities is defined by Low Intensity Factor and High Intensity Factor.   A value between these two factors is randomly selected for each synthesis.

 

Export and Merge FCS

Export FCS

If enabled, an FCS file representing the result of the analysis is exported.

Export FCS Options

Set options for exporting FCS files, including the file name and path.

Merge FCS Option

Choose an option for file merging. File merging allows a set of related files (e.g. a panel of tubes) to be merged into one file containing the union of all parameters in the set. The program synthesizes data for missing parameters.

Merge Options

 

Don't merge

Disables file merging.

Start merge

Creates a new file to start merging data.

Add to merge

Adds to a merge file. This option is only valid after a "Start merge" action and before a "Finish merge" action.

Finish merge

Finishes the file merging and closes the output merge file.

Advanced Options

Stop Auto Advance

Stop the Auto Advance of the batch processor.

Use Custom Actions

Enable Custom Actions mode and the ability to create custom action scripts.

Custom Actions

Edit the actions in the script. This is an advanced feature that provides access to additional scripting commands. See Edit Actions for more information.
