Set up response data processing

Learn how to set up response data processing in Dose-response analysis documents.

Before you begin

We recommend becoming familiar with the response data processing concept of PLA 3.0 before beginning. For details, see the Response data processing topic.
Note: This task shows how to efficiently work with the document structure in this context. Best practices or recommendations regarding the setup of assays are not covered.

About this task

Created from scratch, Dose-response analysis documents do not process response data. You can add several adjustment, normalization, and transformation steps and use drag and drop to adjust the sequence of steps according to your requirements. PLA 3.0 processes the steps from top to bottom, as shown in the summary of the Response data processing section.

In this example, we set up normalization and transformation processing such that the first step normalizes all data and the second step log-transforms all data.

Tip: If you do not want to use response data processing, you can remove the related sections from your document. This also removes the respective entries from the report.

Procedure

To set up normalization:
  1. In the Content editor of your Dose-response analysis document, go to Analysis > Response data processing.
  2. Drag and drop the Normalization section to the first position and expand it.
  3. In the drop-down list, switch from No normalization to by Fixed value.
  4. As the value, enter 560.
To set up transformation:
  1. Drag and drop the Transformation section to the second position and expand it.
  2. In the drop-down list, switch from No transformation to Logarithmic response transformation.
    Keep the default logarithm base as is.
  3. Save the document.
