<div dir="ltr"><div>Dear All,<br></div><div><br></div><div>I have tried to load one flex file using the matlab function bfopen.</div><div>If the flex file is isolated in one directory, then the function reads it immediately.</div>
<div>However, if the file belongs to the plate directory with many flex files near it, then the loading take about 1.5 hours (not to say forever).</div><div>In fact, it does the following steps:</div><div><div><br></div><div>
#</div><div>Storing well indices</div><div>#</div><div>Looking for other .flex files</div><div>#</div><div>Looking for files that are in the same dataset as Y:\SomeLocation\Meas_01(2014-01-09_17-02-50)\003003004.flex</div>
</div><div><div>#</div><div>Measurement files not found.</div><div>#</div><div>Making sure that all .flex files are valid</div><div>#</div><div>Grouping together files in the same dataset</div></div><div><br></div><div>...etc</div>
<div><br></div><div>The plate is huge indeed (about 20 Gigs of data).<br></div><div><br></div><div>Is there a way to force it to read only one specific file, without extracting the metadata from the whole plate ?</div><div>
<br></div><div>Thanks into advance,</div><div><br></div><div><div><div>--</div>Fethallah</div>
