Workspace

The application window, Experiment Data capabilities, and Analysis Result capabilities.

Last verified:

Application window

The Data / Results list is the project navigator. It contains two types of project item: Experiment Data and completed Analysis Results. Selecting an item shows it in the workspace; selection does not change whether an experiment is Active.

Only Experiment Data has an Active toggle. Active experiments participate in operations that use a group of datasets, such as multiple-experiment fitting, processing propagation, and coordinated export. The toggle becomes available after the experiment has been processed. Enable All, Disable All, and Invert Active change several experiments, while the sorting commands change the list order. Multiple-experiment fitting is described in Multiple-experiment fitting, and the processing prerequisite is covered in Processing.

The rest of the window follows the selected item and task:

Experiment Data

Light-theme FT-ITC Analysis window with Experiment Data selected and the Overview workflow open.
Selecting Experiment Data opens its experiment workflow in the shared workspace.

Experiment Data represents an imported or application-created dataset. Its list entry provides identifying information and a summary of its processing or fitted state.

Experiment workflow

Four task views are available for Experiment Data:

Details and attributes

The Details... view contains editable concentrations, comments, and experiment attributes. The macOS sheet has separate Details and Attributes tabs: Details contains the experiment name, date/time, conditions, concentrations, and comments; Attributes contains optional metadata. Attributes describe conditions and analysis inputs such as buffer, salt, ionic strength, competitor, or prebound species.

Attribute Operations... copies either one attribute or all attributes from the selected Experiment Data to All other experiments, Active experiments, a Specific experiment, or Experiment names containing.... The name option targets every other experiment whose name contains the entered text, without regard to capitalization.

Experiment Data actions

Analysis Result

Light-theme FT-ITC Analysis window with an Analysis Result selected, showing its summary, validity, and Update Result action.
An Analysis Result opens its dedicated result workspace when selected.

An Analysis Result stores a fit for one or more experiments together with its model, constraints, fitting settings, uncertainty output, and member solutions. Its list entry summarizes the stored fit.

Result workspace

The result workspace provides these views:

The inspector organizes result information under Summary, Analysis, Experiments, and Model. See Results and advanced analyses for interpretation and prerequisites.

Analysis Result actions

Changes to the fit-relevant state of Experiment Data stored in an Analysis Result can invalidate the result. The validity indicator shows whether the stored result still matches the current data.

Separate tools

The Tools menu opens separate windows for tasks outside the main experiment and result workflows. These include Experiment Designer..., Buffer Subtraction..., and Experiment Merger.... Their features are described in Tools.
