7. Manual Settings Configuration

Manual settings are unique in that you must load experimental settings and additional LabChart input from the DataPad. For help on DataPad export, see DataPad Export.

You can either create a new manual selection settings file or open an existing one. With both options you can edit the table manually within the subGUI.

7.1. New Settings File

  1. Click the Manual Settings button (7) to open the Manual Settings subGUI (Figure 12).
