 GENERAL INFO
 
-The BatchDataImporter plugin imports a batch of individual data files into an experiment chosen by the user. It is set up to be invoked from the detail view of a single Experiment where an import tab lets the user select a zip file that contains all the data files. On invocation it proceeds to create a new subdirectory in the user's raw data directory -- this subdirectory is named after the zip file minus the extension plus a timestamp in the format ddMMyy_hhmmss. The zip file is unzipped into this directory. For each file in the directory, a single RawBioAssay object is then created, and once all the data files have been processed in this way, the RawBioAssay objects just created are attached to the Experiment where the import is run from.

 It is assumed that all the data files are of the same data type and format -- the import will fail otherwise. It is also assumed that a suitable import configuration for the data exists already.

 USE
 
-1. Zip up into a single file the data files that make up your experiment. If your data files are Affy format (cel files) the zip file also needs to include the cdf file for your chip. 
+1. Zip up into a single file the data files that make up your experiment. If your data files are Affy format (cel files) the zip file also needs to include the cdf file for your chip. Upload this file to your account on BASE (go to View -> Files -> Upload File).
 2. Create a new Experiment in the BASE web client. Make sure it is of the same data type as the data in the files you want to import. 
 3. Open the detail view of the newly created experiment and click on the import tab.
