Quick Navigation: Pages by Category | List of All Pages | Protocols

I know if I don't write down what I am doing and how to do it I won't remember in the future, and also someone else won't be able to do it without Koch or my own help so this is for them too.

Protocol

I'll have to write up the full protocol on the KochLab protocols page one day, but for now bits and pieces will be here.

Ok so I've already done the experiments of scanning stuck beads with the trap and have saved the data.

Displaying Data as HTML

This is a great method to compare all the data at once.

• First open LabView 8.5 and open Auto Report 98. It must be run in LabView 8.5 otherwise it won't run.
• When you click the run program arrow a series of pop-ups will um... pop-up and you must go through the set.
• First select the directory where the data is.
• Next are a bunch of data parameters and in the first parameters pop-up make sure you have Quick Conversion selected. It is towards the bottom under Conversion Type.
• For the purposes of this procedure you can just click ok on the remaining pop-up menus.
• Next make sure the axis are the exact data that you want to display. It has to be exact otherwise it won't display properly or at all.
• Make sure autoscale is turned on or off depending on your preference or need.
• When everything is set, just click Go and the program will start converting all the .dat and .ini files to .jpeg and html and will be uploaded to the server.

Exporting to Excel

In order to analyze the data and fit the linear portion of the DOG we need to get it into excel
