New Project

 

This command creates a new project.  When selected, the New Project dialog is displayed.

 

 

Type

The project Type determines how the project will be used:

Project Type

Usage

Cell cycle

Cell cycle analysis using Auto-Analysis or a model created with the Choose Model dialog.  Supports multiple cell cycles, debris and aggregate subtraction

Synchronized cell cycle

Analyze samples that have been synchronized (e.g. blocked in G0-G1 and then released).  Supports one cell cycle, debris and aggregate subtraction

Cell proliferation tracking

For cells stained with cell-tracking dyes such as CFSE. Computes all cell proliferation statistics (e.g. Proliferation Index)

Custom

For an unrestricted analysis with a custom model

 

ModFit LT will enable the tools that are appropriate for the type you select.

 

Name

Enter a name for the project.  The name will be used to create a project folder on disk, so the characters in the name have to be compatible with file names on your operating system.

 

Location

By default, projects are saved in the ModFit LT subfolder of the user's Documents folder and in most cases you do not need to edit the location.  However, you can select any location accessible to your computer using the Browse button.

 

More

Click the More button to show additional properties of the new project.

 

Project Description

Use this field to describe your project. It can also be left blank.

 

Project Creator

By default, the creator is the user logged onto the computer.  This field can be edited.

 

Copy Data Files

When this option is enabled (checked), FCS files that are added to the project are copied into the project folder.  This makes it easier to move projects to different locations.
