Configuration ID
Have a data-field associated that holds a configuration ID, i.e. a unique reference to the instrument configuration with which the data were obtained (in future this should be supplied in the raw data files) if not present one may use a combination of instrument ID and date. (For nse e.g. stored using saveasc and build a suitable ID name which the is used.).
Purpose: going towards more automatic evaluation, the configuration ID can be used to ensure that reference and sample measurements may be matched.
