Process Description

Create Design File Template

The Create Design File Template process creates a template for you to build an Experimental Design File (EDF) to be used with other processes for importing raw data files. This process populates a table with filenames from a folder that you specify and creates other required columns. You can add and subsequently fill in additional columns corresponding to the experimental conditions.

What do I need?

In order to generate an EDF, you must have a set of files containing the raw data. These files should all be saved to the same folder. The Affymetrix Latin Square Data .cel files (\Sample Data\Microarray\Affymetrix Latin Square\CEL) are used in the example that follows. A typical .cel file, opened using a text editor, is shown below.

For detailed information about the files and data sets used or created by JMP Genomics software, see Files and Data Sets.

Output/Results

The output data sets generated by this process are listed in a Results window . Refer to the Create Design File Template output documentation for detailed descriptions.
