Probe Table

• The "Row" column identifies the original order of the probe before any sorting operations were performed
• The "Probes" column is the name of the probe, taken from the barcode / PLX file.
• The "Hide" column allows a probe to be hidden from charts.
  Hiding a probe does not affect blank subtraction and normalization.
  Hiding a probe removes it from the list of differentially expressed candidates, which can lead to an increase in significance for the remaining probes. 
  
• The "neg/blank" column marks a probe to be marked as a blank probe.   Blank probes are subtracted from the data.
• The "norm" column marks a probe to be used as a normalizer.   Multiple normalization probes may be selected.   They are averaged together.   Groups of probes can be automatically selected as normalizers using the Normalization Button.
• The "concentration" column allows the entry of peak concentration for targets in a dilution series.   The data is used in generating standard curves. 
  
• The "samples" column lists how many samples contained this probe.
  
• The "particles" column lists the total number of particles with this probe among all samples in this experiment.

The popup menu provides these functions.

The header of the table has a separate popup menu from the body of table, as usual.

Example

To hide all probes except three, bring up the popup menu in the header of the "hide" column.
Choose "select all" - all the checkboxes are checked, making all probes hidden.    (All charts will go blank, since all probes are hidden)
Select the three desired probes.
Bring up the popup menu in the header of the "hide" column.
Choose "uncheck selected".

Alternatively, the desired probes can be un-hidden one by one using the checkboxes.
