The report is generated after the second run of SimArray and includes a summary of the user-specified design decisions, estimated print run time, estimated maximum meta-grid area, and the randomised source visit map

<p><b>Copyright information:</b></p><p>Taken from "SimArray: a user-friendly and user-configurable microarray design tool"</p><p>BMC Bioinformatics 2006;7():102-102.</p><p>Published online 1 Mar 2006</p><p>PMCID:PMC1456992.</p><p>Copyright © 2006 Auburn et al; licensee BioMed Central Ltd.</p> The source visit map can be either comma,- tab- or space-delimited (default). In this example, and in Figure 8, the design requirement was to print 4 × copies of the exogenous spike control source visits (orange), 1 copy of each transcript-specific probe source visit (green), and omit the empty wells. This report was generated whilst simulating printing by a MicroGrid II 610 robotic spotter (Genomic Solutions). This figure has been colour-coded to aid comparison with Figures 6 and 8
