Click the Plate Template button to choose, save, or delete a template that determines the Plate, Well, and Background method settings. Note: Templates are useful for quickly selecting the settings that are commonly used, however, you do not need to use a template to set up a Plate Analysis.

The Plate Template button resets to Custom when any of the Plate, Well, or Background method settings are changed. You can save the current settings to a new template.

  1. Click the Plate Template button and choose Save Current Template... from the drop-down list.

  3. Enter a name for the new template and click OK.

  5. Adjust the size of the plate by selecting the bounding box and dragging the green arrows on each side. Move the entire plate by dragging the double arrows that appear when hovering on the image.
