Saving and Performing a Query

Queries can be saved as a file in the datasource, similar to Sequence.

To create a query, select New on the File menu. In the New dialog box, select Query (using Wizard) from the list box to open the Query Wizard. After you have entered all conditions for the query, click Finish. The New Query Properties dialog box is opened. Click Save to save the conditions. The Save as dialog box is opened, indicating that the Object of type is Query. Enter the name under which the query is saved.

In the Browser, the Query is indicated by the following symbol: .

If you select a query with the mouse, Chromeleon behaves in the same way as for a sequence: If you select the query in the left Browser pane, the query is performed immediately and the results are displayed in the right Browser pane. If you select the query in the right Browser pane, click Return or double-click the file to perform the query and to display the results.

To edit an existing query, select Properties on the File or context menu and edit the query as desired (see  Specifying the Sample Query Using the Dialog Box).
