Customizing the Data Explorer Window

Additional .SET files that have been developed for detection of

different types of data are included in the1 C:\VOYAGER\PROGRAM\SET FILES directory. The names of

the .SET files indicate the type of data the files can be used for.

The appropriate default settings for the type of data you open are automatically applied to a data file the first time you open it in Data Explorer. You can also manually apply these settings if desired. For information, see “Applying a .SET file” on

page 1-20.

Two additional default settings files (stand-alone .SET files) that contain graphic settings only are also provided on your system in the C:\MARINER\PROGRAM directory or the C:\VOYAGER\PROGRAM directory:

•DEFAULTWHITE.SET

•DEFAULTBLACK.SET

Customizing settings saved in a data fileMaking a copy of default .SET files before customizing

These .SET files contain the default graphic settings applied when you select White Background or Dark Background (after selecting Default from the Display menu). For information, see Section 1.5.1, Changing Background Color.

You can customize settings saved in a data file by adjusting graphic or processing settings in the Data Explorer window.

Settings are saved with a data file when you close the data file, and are automatically applied the next time you open the data file, if specified. For more information, see Section 2.1, Opening and Closing Data Files.

You can also save the settings in a .SET file for use with other data files, as described in “Saving .SET files” on page 1-37.

All .SET files are user editable. However, before you edit the default processing/graphic .SET files (see page 1-18),make a copy of the original .SET file, in case you need to reload the settings for default peak detection. Copy the file using Windows NT® Explorer.
