User Preferences

The Preferences selection in the Tools menu allows users to specify how certain aspects of the system will behave. Once your preferences are set, these preferences are persistent between application sessions and are applied at once.

Modifying settings

1. From the main menu, click on Tools>Preferences.

2. In the Preferences pop-up window, you can define settings for:

。 Text Editor: The editor selected will be used to open and inspect data sets loaded in a project. Notepad is the default setting.

。 Visualization: The color scheme selected be applied to color mosaic images.

Absolute: (default) Let M = max{|min|, |max|} over all expression measurements, across all arrays. If expression value x > 0, assign it the red spectrum x / M * 256. If expression value x is negative, assign it to the green spectrum -x / M * 256.

Relative: This is similar to the setting for Absolute, but each marker is mean-variance normalized first.

。 Genepix Value Computation: You can specify how compute the value displayed for Genepix array. The default setting is Option 1: (Mean F635 - Mean B635) / (Mean F532 - Mean B532).

3. Click on OK.
