Mapping Scan Protocols to Designs
The first time you scan a microarray of a given design, the Scan Control program assigns, or
“maps” the selected protocol to that design. After that, any time the Scan Control program
recognizes a slide with the same design, the Scan Control program automatically fills in that
protocol for the slide in the slot table. You can also assign protocols to slide designs manually.
To map a scan protocol to a slide design
1
In the Scan Control program menu bar, click
Tools > Settings
.
The Settings dialog box opens.
2
Click the Design to Protocol Mapping tab.

Under
Design ID
, type the Design ID number for the design you want to assign to the protocol.
The Design ID is determined from an Agilent slide barcode. All barcodes start with 25. The
following five digits are the Design ID. For example, the Design ID for barcode 251727810298
is 17278.

Under
Scan Protocol
, select a protocol to use for slides for the selected design.

Whenever you add a slide with the same ID, the program automatically uses the selected
protocol in the slot table.
