How do the parameters, units, and Age/Other work?
For each individual colony you can store numerical data for up to 6 separate parameters of your choice. These parameters are global for the colony. In other words, if you select as parameter 1, glucose in blood, and as parameter 2, albumin in urine, all the Experimental Data records will show blood glucose and albumin in urine as parameters 1 and 2, regardless of whether you assess them in all the animals or not. The same is valid for the Units and the Age or time interval at which the parameter was evaluated. For example, it is likely that you will have a scenario in which parameter 1 and 2 hold data for animal IDs 32, 34, 35, 54, and 56; while parameter 3 and 4 hold data for animals 61, 62, 63, and 66. At the present time, Mouse Colony can only carry 6 parameters. However, if your needs exceed this capacity please let us know so future versions will address this issue.
