Clearing Drop Locations

Rock Imager can search your plates for drop locations and save the drop location to memory for quicker future imaging sessions. Occasionally you may need to clear or reset a drop location on a per-drop or per-plate basis. For example, if your drop grows beyond the original drop size, you may need to clear the drop location and run the drop location algorithm again in order to get the best images of your drops.

Note: Whether or not Rock Imager executes the drop location algorithm on a plate is determined by settings in the Plate Type Editor.

Prerequisites

• Rock Imager has already identified drop locations on your plate.
• You want to remove or reset one or all of the drop locations.

1. Locate the plate using any of the Plates sub-tabs (for further assistance, see Searching for Plates).
2. Right-click on the name of your plate and select Clear Drop Location Positions. A confirmation message appears.
