The SDS software can export most panes and plots of the plate document as JPEG
(Joint Photographic Experts Group) graphic files. The JPEG file format is
compatible with most word processing and spreadsheet applications and can be
incorporated directly into HTML documents for viewing by most web browser
software.
To export an element of a plate document as a graphic:
1. Select the plot or grid you want to export.
2. Choose from the following:
– If exporting a plot, adjust its dimensions (length and width) as you want them
to appear in the exported graphic file. The exported graphic file retains the
dimensions of the original screen element.
– If exporting the plate grid, do not adjust the size of the wells. The software
captures the whole grid regardless of the size of the view.
3. Right-click the plot or grid, and select Save Plot/Grid to Image File from the
contextual menu.
If a pane cannot be exported as a graphic, the contextual menu will not

exported graphic file.

6. Click .
The software saves the plot or grid as a JPEG graphic in the designated
directory.
