Handling Files and Datasources
Exporting Data from Different Samples to a Single File

Use one page of the Printer Layout containing a peak summary table (which is usually the Summary page) to export data for a specified peak from different samples of a sequence to just one file. First, define the columns of interest:

• Enable Layout Mode on the Edit menu.

• Double-click the header of the column of interest to open the Report Column Properties dialog box. Select a peak, and then select Save Report Definition… on the Workspace menu to save the Report Definition File (RDF).

 Tip:

If the setting in the dialog box is Selected Peak, it is not possible to export any data. Although data is always exported from the Browser, it is not possible to select the peak there.

• Change to the Browser and follow the description in  Exporting Data during or after a Batch. Use the following settings:

• In the File name formula field, enter {seq.name}, i.e., the formula, for the sequence name; this generates a single file for the sequence without a superior directory.

• Select the export format: ASCII, Excel, or PDF.

• Select Summary or the corresponding page of the peak summary table as the report page to be exported.

• Click Finish to complete the Export Wizard, and then click OK to start exporting.
