Spaceballs Workflow

Each step in the workflow includes context-sensitive help () to assist you.

1. Click Probes>Spaceballs Workflow to open the Spaceballs Workflow window.
2. You are prompted to start a new subject (Start a new subject) or to continue with a subject (Load subject data from existing file).

If you select Load subject data from existing file, Microlucida typically directs you to the Count Objects step. Because the workflow is streamlined, only the relevant steps are displayed and they are re-numbered accordingly (i.e., Step 10 in the complete workflow might be re-numbered Step 4 in the streamlined workflow).

3. Follow the steps in the workflow.
