How can I set up auto-analysis for data in GeneMapper with the 3500 Data Collection Software version 3.x?
Beginning with 3500 Data Collection Software version 3, the 3500 Data Collection Software does not support automatic secondary analysis. This is also indicated in the software release notes. To perform secondary data analysis, you will need to manually import the .fsa file into the GeneMapper software. For optimal performance, we recommend that you install the GeneMapper Software on a stand-alone computer that is not part of the 3500 Genetic Analyzer system.
