Every measurement is saved as a file (see Data folder (p. 130)) and the patient ID is added
to the file name of this measurement. The Windows operating system does not support all
characters in file names, therefore, do not use the following characters in patient IDs: /, \,
?, ", ', |, :, *, <, >, return and tabulator.
