Browse probe groups

 

With eArray's Browse Probe Groups tool, you can list the probe groups in the Agilent Catalog, and in your own workgroup's folders. You first view a list of all available probe groups for the selected application type. You then select a specific category or folder to refine the list. All users can browse probe groups in the Agilent Catalog by category. Registered users can, in addition, browse workgroup or collaboration content by folder. If your workgroup administrator or collaboration lead has set up browse categories, you can browse your workgroup or collaboration probe groups by category.

  1. Click the Workspace tab, or enter a collaboration.

  2. Set the application type. You can only browse probe groups that are associated with the current application type.

  3. Click Probe Group > Browse Probe Groups.

    The Browse Probe Group page appears. A list of all available probe groups for your selected application type appears in the View Probe Group pane.

    Use the Pages links to navigate among multiple pages of probe groups.

  4. In the left pane, select a category or folder as described in the table below. To restore the full list, click Browse Probe Groups again.
