Copy an analysis parameter set

You can copy an existing analysis parameter set, and then customize the settings and save it as a new parameter set. We recommend this procedure if you need a unique analysis parameter set for a custom analysis that other users do not need to use in their runs. Copying an analysis parameter set ensures that the uploaded parameter set remains intact for other users.

  1. Click (Settings) > Analysis Parameters.

    In the Analysis Parameters screen, factory parameters are denoted by "Ion Torrent" in the Source column.

  2. To filter the parameter sets by chip type, select your chip type from All Chips.
  3. Identify the parameter set that you want to copy, then click (Actions) > Copy in the row for that set.
  4. In the Copy Analysis Parameters dialog box, enter a parameter name and description, make any changes, then click Save.

    Your new analysis parameter set is available in the Analysis Parameters table. The Source column lists the name of the user who created it.

  5. Click (Actions) > View in the row of the analysis parameter set to view the details for that parameter set in the list.
  6. You can select the custom analysis parameter set for use in a Planned Run or reanalysis of a completed run.
