Methods and system for efficient collection and storage of experimental data allow experimental data from high-throughput, feature-rich data collection systems, such as high-throughput cell data collection systems to be efficiently collected, stored, managed and displayed. Each data segment is frequency analyzed to determine up to three candidate peaks for further analysis. The rotatable member has a major body portion and at least one magnetically detectable reference point. The performance level is selected to maintain processor utilization by the software program within constraints, such as a desired range of processor utilization and a minimum idle thread allocation. The regulatory approval status corresponds to at least one function performable by the medical device.
