examplePost(cmap, inputType = "non-directional", species = "human",
  array.platform = NULL, idType = "entrez", rows = 1000, add = 3,
  seed = 123)

`cmap`	NChannelSet object, e.g. generated by the exampleCMAP function
`inputType`	character, one of directional, non-directional, profile
`species`	character, should match a species supported by the loaded gCMAPWeb configuration file
`array.platform`	character, should match an array platform supported by the loaded gCMAPWeb configuration file
`idType`	character, one of entrez, symbol or probe
`rows`	integer, number of genes to include in a 'profile' query.
`add`	numeric, score shift for scores in the first sample column. Scores for genes 1-50 will be shifted up, those for genes 51-100 down. Only used to simulate 'profile' queries.
`seed`	numeric, seed for the random number generator. Default=123

This function is mainly intented for testing purposes.
