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:
