Answer
New Feature in caArray 2.3 and Up
Starting in caArray 2.3 and up, users may download any array design file stored NCI's public caArray instance. Simply locate the array design file of interest in caArray and launch the download process.
Find the Array Design Files
caArray allows users to upload array design information on an as-needed basis. Therefore, no array design information is present with a new caArray installation. While this feature provides the flexibility for an organization to upload only the designs they use (and as a result reduce the overhead introduced by loading unnecessary designs - which are often of significant size (100's of megabytes or more)), it also means that users have to find and upload all the necessary array design files into their caArray server. Searching for the array design files could be confusing and time consuming.

Before you submit your new array design file for uploading, please make sure that you have selected the correct file format from File Format drop down list. The default selection of 'Automatic' from File Format might fail in recognizing some file types. |
