Name (Sample Name)

 

Type:

Character String

Dimension:

---

Value Range:

All printable characters

Default:

[Sample] [No.]

Related Parameters:

No. (sample number)

GUID

Sample ID

Replicate ID

Description:

The Sample Variable Name serves to identify a sample and to label graphics and reports.

 Note: 

If the sequence contains Sequence Report Columns, statistical values can be displayed in the last three lines of the sample list. In this case, the names of the statistical values appear in the Name column: Sum, Average Value, and/or Rel. Std. Dev. (relative standard deviation).

Function:

The Fill Column function (F9) allows automatic sample name generation. For this purpose, the currently selected name can be copied or a character string with wild cards as template can be entered. These are names that might include, for example, the sample number (#n, refer to No.), the position (#p, refer to Pos.), the replicate number (#r), and the injection volume (#i, s. Inj. Vol.). Thus, telling names can be easily generated using these wild cards! The replicate number is calculated from the repetition of a sample number. Example: If two injections are made from the first two vials the template “r;Analysis-#p_Repl.#r" yields the following names:

 

 Analysis-1_Repl.1

 

 Analysis-1_Repl.2

 

 Analysis-2_Repl.1

 

 Analysis-2_Repl.2

When creating a sample list using the Sequence Wizard (see Samples and Sequences  The Sequence Wizard), automatic sample name generation is possible as well.

 Note:

Each line represents an individual analysis. As multiple injections of the same sample also represent multiple analyses, a sample line must be reserved for each injection.
