Each analysis must be linked with a sample information file before the analysis can proceed. A sample
information file can consist of parameter files, however, parameter files can also stand alone.
Parameter files allow repeated use of the file, for example, if the same analysis conditions exist for
multiple analyses, create an Analysis Conditions file containing the recurring conditions. When the
sample file is created, select the Analysis Conditions file for the analysis conditions. Once it becomes
part of the new sample file, edit the new file as needed without affecting the original Analysis Condi-
tions file. Sample Information files can be created or opened in Advanced, Basic, or Restricted
format.
Specify or change the default format by selecting Options > Option Presentation or
select Basic / Advanced from the dropdown list at the bottom of the window. Refer to
