Once we've created the archive, we can now add files to it. We can refer to our previous notes of all the filenames associated with our IDF file. In our example, the archive will consist of a total of 42 files: one IDF, one SDRF, 20 TXT, and 20 TSV files. We can select these files in the 'Add' dialog as shown below, then click the 'Add' button at the bottom to begin creating the archive. (Hint: Hold down the CTRL key to select multiple files.).


"In WinZip's 'Add' dialog

In WinZip's 'Add' dialog, select all the related IDF, SDRF, raw data, and derived data files (a total of 42 files in our example), then click the 'Add' button below to begin creating the archive.

(WARNING: After you've created the archive, ensure that the resulting file size is less than 2 GB. If it isn't, you will either have to re-create the archive with a higher compression ratio, or subdivide the batch into smaller batches. In our example, the size of the 'upload.zip' archive came out to approximately 900 MB, as shown below, so the file is ready to upload as is.)

Back in the main experiment window, the contents of the archive we just uploaded are now listed under the 'Manage Data' tab. The TSV matrix files are considered supplemental, so we will move them to the 'Supplemental Files' tab by first using the 'Filter By File Type' drop-down to show only TSV files, then checking off all the TSV files in the list, then and finally clicking on the 'Add Supplemental Files' button below.

...

Back on the 'Manage Data' tab, the remaining files from our upload are one IDF, one SDRF, and 20 TXTs (only the first three of these files is shown below due to space constraints). Note that the status of the TXT file from the screenshot (and of all other TXT files in the list) shows as 'Unknown', which means that caArray did not automatically recognize the file type in this particular case. As a result, we will have to manually specify the file type ourselves by selecting first using the 'Filter By File Type' drop-down to show only TXT files, then checking off all the TXT files in the list, then and finally clicking the 'Change File Type' button below.
