## Quick overview

This tools allows you to interactively explore, analyze, and visualize droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) data.

Select the **<i class="fa fa-table"></i> Dataset** tab to load ddPCR data.

Select the **<i class="fa fa-cog"></i> Settings** tab to modify parameters of a ddPCR data after it has been loaded.

Select the **<i class="fa fa-calculator"></i> Analyze** tab to run automated analysis on the loaded ddPCR data.

Select the **<i class="fa fa-bar-chart"></i> Results** tab to visualize the results of the analysis using tables and figures.

At any point after initially loading a dataset, you may download the data in its current state (**<i class="fa fa-download"></i> Save data** button) and load it again in the future.

Whenever a new dataset is loaded or the settings of an existing dataset are changed, you should re-analyze the data.
