Affymetrix® GeneChip® Command Console® Software (AGCC) is the latest generation of instrument control software for GeneChip systems. Command Console Software provides an intuitive set of tools for instrument control and data management used in the processing of GeneChip Arrays. The software summarizes probe cell intensity data (CEL file generation) and enables sample and array registration, data management, instrument control as well as automatic and manual image gridding. Besides these core features, the flexible platform provided by Command Console Software enables customized, automated, and integrated workflows with a variety of laboratory information management systems. Probe-level summarization (CHP) files are generated by other Affymetrix software applications.

Command Console Software supports the full range of Affymetrix assays by enabling seamless integration with downstream primary analysis applications such as Affymetrix Expression Console™ and Genotyping Console™. Sample attribute and array data can be directly imported into any of the more than 30 commercially available GeneChip-compatible™ applications, allowing researchers and clinicians to select from a variety of analysis methodologies. Key to this ability is Affymetrix' commitment to an open informatics platform that uses industry-standard file formats for sample annotations and open file formats to access GeneChip Array data. Inside GeneChip-compatible analysis applications, sample attributes and array data are merged with automated downloads of library files and NetAffx® annotations, providing streamlined data analysis workflows unmatched by any other microarray platform.
