An iteration is a data file, or a group of data files, viewed in the layout as part of an analysis. An example of an Iteration can be several files collected per study subject, time point, or condition, where the data is to be compared side by side simultaneously.

Iterations are a quick way to change to another sample or group of samples when reviewing data files in the data list or during a batch process. Using iterations to manage files and data sets in FCS Express is an efficient way to perform data analysis.
