Data collection directories:

A User may choose to use one of several pre-defined protocols for their data collection strategy. Using one of these can make subsequent data collection more organized, and help prevent accidental over-writing of previously collected images.

If desired, a User may choose instead to import and load an excel spreadsheet containing sample information, then use this information as part of the hierarchical naming scheme for data collection and processing. This is most easily accomplished by creating an excel spreadsheet, which has been tab delimited, then saved this file as filename.csv.

Should the User choose to not load a previously prepared spreadsheet or pre-defined protocol, the default hierarchical naming convention will be: puck name, pin number, single/run number (eg. Pn8p3s1 for "puck number" 8, "pin" 3, "single" image number 1).
