To open an existing batch file, click on the Open Batch button. This will open a
similar dialog. Select the Excel file you want to open from the appropriate directory.
Naming/Saving a Count
Enter a name for the count you want to save in the Count Name field, or use the
default name (the file name plus a time stamp). Enter any comments in the Count
Comment field. This data will be included in the spreadsheet.
To save the currently displayed count to the batch file, click on the Save Count
button. The number of colonies, as well as associated count settings, will be added to
the spreadsheet. After you have saved the current count, the Save Count button will
become deactivated. If you adjust the count in any way, the button will become active
again and you can add the adjusted count to the spreadsheet.
Loading Another Image
After you have saved the count(s) for the current image, you can open another dish
image by clicking on the Load Next button. This will open a standard Open dialog
from which you can select the image.
The new image will be loaded into the Colony Counting dialog.
Note: The image will only be loaded into the Colony Counting dialog; it will not open
in a separate image window in Quantity One.
After you have saved the count(s) for the new image to the batch file, you can either
load another image using the Load Next command or click on Close to close the
Colony Counting dialog.
