Sample Name
Tap the Sample Name field in any measurement screen to edit the sample name.
When Auto-Naming is On (see General Settings), each sample is automatically assigned a
sample name using the default base name followed by a unique number starting with “1.” The
first time this appears is after the first blank measurement and before the first sample
measurement in each experiment as shown below.
In this example, the first sample would be named “Sample 1” followed by “Sample 2,” etc.
You can edit the default base name and overwrite any sample name.
