Expression Exporter tool, V1.2 - 5/23/2005 (ZIP, 6.1 MB)
This software tool provides the functionality to export data from Affymetrix software to a MAGE-ML compliant file. Users can utilize this tool to export data to MAGE-ML compliant files instead of developing against the SDK. This software requires the MAS 5.0 or GCOS 1.0 - 1.3 software to be installed on the workstation.
The ZIP file contains several installation programs to enable the software tool. Included are installation programs for the runtime libraries for GDAC Files, GDAC Exporter and the Exporter software. The GDAC Files runtime library install is provided for use with the Expression Exporter tool only. You are not licensed to redistribute this installer with any other application.
Software Developers Kit
The downloads available to develop to the GDAC Exporter SDK include the runtime libraries, the type library file and the MAGE-ML.DTD file. These tools allow you to develop applications that will write Affymetrix data to MAGE-ML compliant files.
Note: When prompted for ‘What would you like to do with this file?’ message after clicking to download, always have the ‘Save this program to disk’ radio button selected.
Exporter Runtime Library Installer V3.0.03 (EXE, 2.3 MB)
This is the runtime libraries for the GDAC Exporter. Once GDACExporterInstall.exe is downloaded double-click and follow the instructions. Build 03 of version 3.0 has been modified to function with GCOS 1.3 and to address two changes. The first change is a modification of the scale value in the QuantitationType for CHPSignal from LOG2 to LINEAR. The second change is a bug fix in the output of the CHP file background and noise average, standard deviation, minimum and maximum values.
GDAC Exporter Java Runtime Library Installer V3.0 (EXE, 1.1 MB)
This is the runtime libraries for Java version of the GDAC Exporter. Once GdacExporterJava.exe is downloaded double-click and follow the instructions. You must install the GDAC Exporter SDK prior to installing the Java version.
GDACExporter.tlb file V3.0
This download includes the compressed version of the GDAC Exporter type library (TLBs) required for developing against the GDAC Exporter SDK in a COM environment.
MAGE-ML.DTD file
Download the MAGE-ML.DTD file for use with all GDAC Exporter and MAGE-ML file types.
Sample Programs
These sample programs will demonstrate the following functionality of the GDAC Exporter SDK for use in developing against the SDK. Do not use these applications in a production environment. They are only here to demonstrate the use of the APIs available in the SDK:
- Exporting a chip layout information file to MAGE-ML format.
- Exporting an experiment file to MAGE-ML format.
- Exporting an cell intensity file to MAGE-ML format.
- Exporting a chip file to MAGE-ML format.
