It is possible to set up the 2100 Expert software so that the files are automatically exported each time a chip run is complete. 

Steps to Follow

To turn on the automatic export, carry out the following steps, which are also shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2. 

1. Select the System context.
2. Select Auto Export in the tree navigation. 
3. Select the Auto Export check box. 
4. Specify the export categories that are to be included in the exported files.

From now on, chip run data will automatically export every time a chip run has finished. 

Caution: If you stop a chip run prematurely, the auto export will not take place.

Caution: Exporting a chip data file can require up to 20 MB of disk space. In particular, exporting electropherograms and gel-like images as .tif or .bmp files may take up lots of disk space.
