Auto-generation of a DeviceEditor design from CSV and zipped sequence files. Third-party software can transfer component design and (combinatorial) arrangement information to DeviceEditor via spreadsheet (CSV) and zipped sequence files (i.e. a set of j5 files, see Methods). From the "File" pull-down menu of the user interface (Figure 1, top left), "Load Design → j5 Files" will open the j5 File Import dialog box (top left). After the requisite files are selected, a minimal design is auto-generated on the DeviceEditor design canvas (top right). As evident in the screenshot taken immediately after loading the design, there is no SBOLv icon information and some of the labels may be overlapping. The precise spatial arrangements of the part icons, SBOLv icon selection, and the collection object dimensions may then be customized as desired (bottom).
