User Preferences

Each user has the option to configure a number of settings in the
various application modules. Some key preference options available
for each of the User Preference tabs are as follows
• Archiving
In addition to the primary data storage of archive files at
c:\nanodrop data, users may elect to save their data to an
additional location. This option can be chosen under the
'Archiving' tab by selecting the 'Duplicate data storage?' box and
then choosing the file path by clicking on the file folder icon under
'Duplicate Data Folder'. Save the alternative path by clicking on
the 'Save and Exit' button before exiting the User Preferences
module. The user may also elect to deselect an automatic prompt
to close the Data Viewer whenever a module is closed. The Data
Viewer must be closed if a different module is opened before data
can be reviewed.
• Reports
Users may choose the Auto Reporting feature which allows data to
automatically populate the report for all samples. To enable this
feature, select the Reports tab of Users Preferences and select the
box next to each application listed in the Auto Reporting area.
Save these preferences by selecting Save & Exit to close the
window.
Note: User preferences are stored in a '.log' file. When upgrading
to a newer version of the software, this file should be preserved. If
after upgrading to a new software version the user preferences do
not appear correctly, the .log file should be manually copied to the
proper directory. See "Passwords. log'" for more detail.
• Nucleic Acids
The default setting is DNA-50. Other options include RNA-40,
ssDNA-33, and Other with a variable constant setting.
