Selecting plate
types (.PLT files)
You can select plate types (.PLT files) in two ways:
• When loading the plates in the mass spectrometer
• From the Sample Plate menu in the Instrument Control
Panel
For an example of how to select plate types, see
Section 3.4.2, Loading Sample Plates.
Customizing .PLT
files
You can select and use the plate types described below. You
can also customize these plate types by editing .PLT files
provided with the system. Each .PLT file describes a plate
configuration available for selection when a plate is loaded
into the Voyager system. See Section 3.5.3, Guidelines for
Defining Custom Plate Types, for more information.
NOTE: You cannot edit the original .PLT files provided with
the system, these are read-only files. Make a copy of the
.PLT file describing the plate type you are customizing, edit
this file to describe the plate type you need, and then save
it with a new file name.
