Open an existing Xcalibur sequence
The ZNova-ize Sequence utility is used to add ZNova parameters to your Xcalibur sample list. The parameters determine how the data will be deconvoluted and where the results will be stored. If you do not specify any ZNova parameters, the default options contained in the default znova.params file will be used.
Move your mouse over each of the toolbar buttons to examine the function of each button. The basic steps involved in ZNova-izing a sample sequence are as follows:
Open an existing Xcalibur sequence
Select the files in the Xcalibur sequence that you want to ZNova-ize by either checking the box next to each desired file name or using the Select All Samples
tool bar button.
Most of the time you will probably
want to just add a ZNova parameter
file to a sequence. To select a parameter
file, click on the button to the right of the parameter file box at the lower
right part of the screen.
To add parameter strings to the selected samples in the sequence enter a value for one or more parameters and click on the Add Parameters to Sequence toolbar
button (the left pointing finger icon).
Note that any parameter strings that
you add in addition to the parameter file will override those same options in
the selected parameter file.
Once you are satisfied with your parameter string selections, don't forget to Save or Save As... your Xcalibur sequence.
Return to the Xcalibur Sequence
Setup screen and open the Xcalibur sequence that you just ZNova-ized.
Your added parameter strings should
appear in the ZNova Params section of the Xcalibur sequence. An example of the
strings we added above are shown below.
