2.4 - Picking Segments

The Pick Colonies and Segmented Picking commands allow users to focus the picking
commands onto specific areas of a plate. Segmented picking allows users to pick out of
up to 12 segments in sequence on a single plate.

Access to creating segments can be found when editing Pick Colonies or Segmented
Picking steps, or when the user accesses the setup screen of the RapidPick interface in
SoftLinx.

The user can start with a fresh plate image and create a new segment, then save it using
the “Save” button. The directions on creating the segment are found within this window.

Segments are additional filters to image parameter masks, which are created within the
CP7200 software. It is suggested that one segment box is created and saved to a *.PA
file, then call up that file within a segmented pick step to perform picking in order.
