Custom counters
Sample IDs can include counters identifying single measurements performed
with that sample ID:
- Include a sequence of hash characters “#” in the sample ID (at any
position).
- The first hash character sequence in the sample ID is interpreted as
a counter.
- The number of consecutive hash characters in that sequence defines
the length of the counter.
- Custom counters will be reset to 1 when you select a new sample ID.
Example:
- Name your sample ID “Tank## PV1” for your product variety 1.
- Measurements with that sample ID will be identified as
“Tank01 PV1”, “Tank02 PV1”, “Tank03 PV1”, and so on
until you select a new sample ID (thus resetting the counter).
Default counter “ID”
A sample ID named “ID” is treated as a 4-digit measurement counter that
keeps counting all measurements (regardless of sample ID changes in
between) until it starts over after having reached its maximum value.
