• Layout - You can change the font size of the text shown in matrix (table)
format in the report. If you have a 384-well plate, you can reduce the
font size to allow the text to be readable when printed on a larger paper.
For smaller well counts, you can use a larger font size.
• After execution - Select the tasks that are performed after each time a
session has been executed. You can save, print and/or email the report.
• If you select Save to file, use the Browse
for the file and to select the folder where the file is saved. You can
save the file as a Microsoft Excel file (.xls), an Adobe Acrobat
Portable Document Format file (.pdf) or a text file (.txt).
After selecting the folder, you can use the {abc}... button to select
a placeholder which is affixed to the file name or to the file path.
Place your cursor in the File name field where you want the
placeholder added. The placeholder is replaced with a current value
when the report is created. The format of the timestamp placeholder
is yyyymmdd-hhmmss. For example, you can create a folder for each
year by adding the year template to the file path and separating it
with the backslash (\) character.
The plate id placeholder always uses the plate name of the first plate
in naming the file or folder. The placeholder is mainly intended for
use with the Automation Interface when one plate is used.
You can also select how the data is handled when the session is saved
after a run:

address. For more information, see Email settings" on page 230.
