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 :ref:`DataPad Export <LabChart 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.

New Settings File
**********************
1. Click the ``Manual Settings`` button (7) to open the Manual Settings subGUI (Figure 12).

    * This subGUI consists of three tables that populate with the appropriate settings from your input. 

2. Click ``Select default settings:`` and choose an experimental design from the dropdown menu that best fits your experiment.

    * Make necessary changes in the table of the subGUI that reflect your experiment exactly. 

3. Click ``Load LabChart selections`` to navigate a file dialog and select the .txt files that are the exported LabChart DataPad views.
