.PLT files and
multiple
alignments
A .PLT file defines the sample positions on a sample plate. For
example, 100.PLT may define a 100-well plate. If you have
more than one 100-well plate, you may need to align each
plate. The Voyager software allows you to assign a unique
Plate ID to each plate that allows customized alignment of
more than one plate that uses the sample .PLT file
(Figure 2-22).

How the system
aligns a plate
When you load a sample plate, the system aligns the plate as
described below:
• If the loaded plate has a Plate ID, the software looks for
alignment information associated with the Plate ID and
adjusts accordingly.
• If there is no alignment information available for the Plate
ID (sample plate has not been aligned), the software uses
the default alignment.
Plate A
100well.PLT
Aligned
6/1/99
Plate ID 1A
Plate B
100well.PLT
Aligned
6/15/99
Plate ID 1B
Plate C
100well.PLT
Aligned
6/30/99
Plate ID 1C
