# Create a GLP experiment from a template

Aim

Create a new experiment with all the right default settings, but without tracks and an Experiment log file, based on an existing GLP experiment.

Prerequisites

▪You must have the User Management right to delete trials and clear log. See Assign rights to users

▪You have a GLP experiment that you want to use as a template. For example an experiment with specific arenas and zones, etc.

Procedure

1.Choose File > New template experiment or press Ctrl+T.

2.In the Template option window, select Use a custom template.

3.Click Browse and select the existing GLP experiment you want to use as a template. Select the file with extension *.evxt and click OK.

4.Type in the name of the new experiment.

5.Select GLP experiment and click OK.

Notes

▪Create a backup of the template and store it in a safe place.

▪To open a GLP experiment, you need an EthoVision XT license that includes the Quality Assurance module. Upgrade EthoVision XT

▪In a GLP experiment you cannot change/edit the zones already used in Acquisition.

▪If your license includes the Quality Assurance module, you can still create or open non-GLP experiments. In that case User Management does not apply and no log file is kept.

▪Multiple copies of the same version of EthoVision XT installed on the same computer share the General log file. Different versions of EthoVision XT installed on the same computer each have their own General log file.
