One possibly helpful note about Illumina arrays is that you need to make 
a change to the Settings.xml file in the ProgramFiles/Illumina/BeadScan 
directory in order to get summary or bead-level text files which can 
then be read in using read.table or with the beadarray package.

Change the line:  <SaveTextFiles>false</SaveTextFiles> to
<SaveTextFiles>true</SaveTextFiles>
and add the following line if you want bead-level data:
<SavePerBeadFiles>true</SavePerBeadFiles>

Keep in mind that the bead-level files are large especially for the 
whole genome chips.
