Separate plates are identified in the cell adjcent to "PLATE" in the template. do not change the "PLATE" cell, the script uses this text to find each copied template input. label your plates exactly the same as your plate.reader datafiles and exactly the same as their labels in the similar "plate layout" file. you should have the same amount of plates in each of these 3 locations.
