Cell Data Record Entry:

Use this function to associate buffer, nucleotide, or peptide sequence data with the experimental data for each channel of each cell of an experimental run to be stored in the UltraScan database. The function is opened by selecting a cell information listbox entry in the experimental data database entry form. Once opened, the form will inherit the database ID keys for the investigator and centerpiece type. In this module you will have to select a nucleotide and peptide sequence, as well as a buffer definition for each channel of the cell. The selection has to be made from entries that have been previously committed to the database. After the selection is made, you can add the new cell entry to the database.

Note: This program will utilize the database backend of UltraScan. This functionality allows you to save certain files and data in a database, among them the nucleotide files analyzed with this module. If the database system is not supported or available on your system, you will get a warning message when opening this module.

Explanation of fields and buttons:

	Cell Table ID: The database ID/key for this cell entry Investigator ID: The database ID/key for the investigator associated with this dataset. Centerpiece ID: The database ID/key of the centerpiece used in this cell DNA DB for Channel: Click on this button to select a nucleotide database entry to be associated with the sample in this channel (optional) Buffer DB for Channel: Click on this button to select a buffer definition file from the database to be associated with the sample in this channel (optional) Peptide DB for Channel: Click on this button to select a peptide database entry to be associated with the sample in this channel (optional) Channel: This listbox displays the currently selected channel. If a multi-channel centerpiece was used in this cell, you will have to make a selection for each channel.
	Help: Display this help file Close: Close this database utility window and exit Add DB Entry: Add the current cell information record to the database. All channels need to be defined before the cell data is committed to the database. If you did not associate any buffer, nucleotide or peptide sequence file with your cell data, a warning message will be shown. You should always define a buffer and either a nucleotide or peptide sequence, or both. Delete DB Entry: Delete the selected experimental data record from the database. This function requires administrator privileges. Reset: Reset the database browser window and clear all fields (will reset selectable fields to "not selected") Query DB Entry: Search the database for all database entries (this could take a long time on a slow link)
	Experiment ID: The database ID/key for the associated run. Wavelength 1[2][3]: The wavelength(s) (in nm) used in the acquisition of data for this experiment.
	Cell Position: The position and rotor hole for this cell # of Scans for WL 1[2][3]: The number of scans taken at each of the wavelengths 1-3
