Verify CHP File Tool

Verify CHP vs Reference File

This tool will verify the analysis results and probe set names stored in a GCOS or Affymetrix® GeneChip® Command Console® format CHP file against a verification data file (containing the expected results). It is being provided for software developers implementing tools that read and write results to and from CHP files for their testing needs.

The tool extracts the information stored in a CHP file and PSI library file (containing the probe set names) and compares it to the information stored in a reference verification file. Information stored in the header of the CHP file such as algorithm parameters, chip summary statistics, identifiers and all other header type information are not verified.

Download contains source code, unit tests, test data, documentation and a pre-build Windows® executable for verifying CHP file contents.
