Issue Description

 

We have issues with Exporting and Importing component.txt and method .txt files in both the MultiQuant™ Software and SCIEX OS, where quotations are placed around component names that include a comma. Is this a known issue?

Resolution

Excel can insert extra characters in exported forms of the MultiQuant Software or SCIEX OS data and corrupts this data, the resolution is to edit an exported file.  Our recommendation is to use another Editor which does not insert extra characters into text. For example, using Notepad to edit the .txt file before importing back into Multiquant software or SCIEX OS software.
