Rotor formats always have 1 column; rows correspond to the number of places in the rotor. Values for common formats are:

Format	rows	columns	rowLabel	columnLabel
single-well	1	1	123	123
48-well plate	6	8	ABC	123
96-well plate	8	12	ABC	123
384-well plate	16	24	ABC	123
1536-well plate	32	48	ABC	123
3072-well array	32	96	A1a1	A1a1
5184-well chip	72	72	ABC	123
32-well rotor	32	1	123	123
72-well rotor	72	1	123	123
100-well rotor	100	1	123	123
free format	-1	1	123	123

If rows field has value -1, the function will not try to reconstruct a plate and just display all run data in a single column. If the columns field has value 1 then the function will not display a column label.
