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 Life Sciences 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.
