, this feature is
enabled by the default settings.
These default settings can be changed in the Utilities tab, see chapter 6.6 Default settings
for details.
For further description of the multiplication factor and representation of the result refer
to the NucleoCounter User's Guide.
4.3 Non-viable sample
The check button “Non-viable sample” is used for quick setting of the multiplication factor
when analyzing non-viable samples. The initial default value for the multiplication factor
for a non-viable sample is 1.0. The multiplication factor is changed to 1.0 by setting a
checkmark using the mouse in the box to the left of the text Non -viable sample.
The multiplication factor for non-viable samples can be changed manually. Once this
multiplication factor is changed, the new value is stored and becomes the default
multiplication factor for non-viable samples as long as NucleoView is running. This is useful
when e.g. Yeast samples are analysed, since pre-dilution of e.g. 50-500 is common.
4.4 Operator and Comment
To increase the manageability of the files, it is possible to attach information to each file
in the operator and comment fields (both fields are empty at start -up). To do this, activate
the operator or the comment field by clicking it using the mouse. The operator or
comment can then be entered. The operator and comment fields are limited to 16 and 45
characters respectively. If a comment longer than 45 characters is entered in the comment
field text will be truncated. The entered comment and operator will automatically be
saved in the CM-file.
Once a comment or operator has been entered and saved to a file, they will be transferred
to the next files when new data is transmitted from the NucleoCounter. The entered
operator will be transferred as it is, while the entered comment will be transferred with
three question marks, “???”, appended as a reminder that this comment has not yet been
modified.
If typing the comments or operator settings is in progress during the transfer of new data
from the NucleoCounter, the new file will be presented once the typing has ended.
