Incorrect Sample Name Format Issue

Answer

This Information Applies To: Agilent OpenLab CDS ChemStation


Issue

When creating file names, there are some illegal characters, which must not, be used.

 


Resolution

You can use only alphanumeric characters in your data file names. The following characters are not allowed:

<, >, :, ;, ', ", /, \, |, @, %, *, ?, &, blank spaces

If any of the preceding characters are used in data file names, different errors may be shown in the system, including in some cases, the LC sampler going into resident mode.
