8.4 Data Export to ASCII Format

The raw data, recorded with Roboocyte2 software, is saved in the plate "*.rpf" file. You can
review and evaluate the raw data offline with the Roboocyte2+ software.

However, if you like to study the data in more detail or to print a custom plot, you can export
the raw data in ASCII file format. The extension for the file name of the output files is
"*.dat". Some programs allow to open ASCII files directly, others have filters for importing ASCII.
For example, you can import the data into Origin or Microsoft Excel.

Use the export function of the Roboocyte2+ program for:

 Raw data traces.

 Drift-corrected data traces.

 Baseline-subtracted data traces.

 Leak-subtracted data traces.

 All Parameters from the “Data List”.

 Analyzed data from the “Result Display”, such as dose response curves or IV-dependencies.

All data will be exported as ASCII text, either tab-delimited or delimited by a user-defined
character. The export function follows the principle "WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET"
which means that you are exporting either the displayed traces or parameters extracted
from the displayed traces.

Export Settings

On the "File" menu, click "Export" and select the appropriate settings in the "Export Data
Table to..."
dialog box In order to export a data trace, select the trace or a number of traces
you want to export and open the export window.
