Step Number Selector
The MiniOpticon™ system can acquire fluorescence data at multiple protocol steps; the
software maintains the data acquired at each step independently. The software displays the
Step Number selector below the Standard Curve chart on the Quantification tab whenever a
protocol contains more than one data collection step. When you select a step, the software
applies that selection to all the data that are shown in the Data Analysis window. Figure 38
shows the data collection step number is 3 for all the data.

Viewing Well Groups in Data Analysis
Wells in the plate can be grouped into subsets for independent analysis using well groups.
When you create well groups in the Well Groups Manager window (page 50), group names
appear in the Data Analysis window Well Groups drop-down list on the toolbar.
TIP: To edit, create and delete well groups, click the Manage Well Groups button
in the toolbar.
By default, the well group All Wells is selected when the Data Analysis Window is first opened,
with the data in all wells with content shown in the charts and spreadsheets.
Figure 39 shows Group 2 selected in the Well Groups menu. Only the wells in that well group
appear loaded with content in the well selector and data only for these wells are included in
the data analysis calculations.
