Entering Sample Information
Before you begin a run, enter sample information after selecting
Sample > Enter Sample Info
on the
Main Menu bar.
No information that you enter in the Enter Sample Info window will affect analysis results, but it is
helpful in organizing your data and preventing accidental file overwrites.
Identifying sample information is particularly important if you are completing more than one
analysis run. You can use information entered in the Enter Sample Info for Next Run window to
create sequential file names that will help you organize your data for comparing and overlaying files
(see
Creating Automatically Generated Analysis File Names , page 4-4 ).
When you create a Standard Operating Method (SOM), you can choose to display the Enter Sample
Info window automatically before each analysis run to prompt the operator to enter sample
information. For more information, see
Standard Operating Method: Run Settings , page 4-8 .
