In some cases, the data received by ArrayMiner from GeneSpring are not the ones expected - the experiments (data columns) may be in the wrong order or there may be supplementary experiments. This is a glitch in the current implementation of GeneSpring's External Programs interface.

    There are three ways of solving the problem:

• Use the reorder option of ArrayMiner (by far the best solution)
• Create a new Experiment within GeneSpring, adding the appropriate data in the desired order. You can then run ArrayMiner on this Experiment as usual
• Within Genespring, select the View as Spreadsheet option in the View menu, and check the Normalized checkbox only. Your data should now appear in the proper order, one column per experiment. Click the Copy All button (if the button is disabled, click Clear Selection first). This copies the data into the system Clipboard, and can be then retrieved in ArrayMiner by getting data from Clipboard.
