Defining Sample Information Files
A sample information file must be created for each analysis. This file can be created prior to or at the
time of analysis. The sample information file identifies the sample, guides the analysis, and specifies
report options.
A sample information file may be created in Advanced, Basic, or Restricted format
.
Advanced Format
When you create a new sample information file, all the parameters are filled with the values in the
default method. To navigate from one set of parameters to another, select the parameter tab at the top
of the window.
Format Description
Advanced
Displays all parts of sample information and parameter files. Navigate to
parameter windows by selecting the tabs across the top of the window.
Basic
Displays the entire sample information file in a single window with no tabs
across the top. This option is used once the parameter files have been created.
The previously entered or default parameter files are then accessible using
dropdown lists.
Restricted
Displays the sample information file in a single window similar to the Basic
format with certain functions disabled. A password must be entered when the
restricted format is selected. That same password must be entered to exit the
format. This format is typically used in laboratories where analysis conditions
must remain constant, for example, in the pharmaceutical industry. The
Advanced format option is not available from the Restricted format.
The Degas Conditions tab displays only if enabled in Options > Option Presentation >
Show Degas Conditions.
