Use this command to create, edit, or delete user-defined parameter definitions for samples.
Each sample contains a value for each user-defined parameter. The value of the parameter can be set using the Sample Information dialog or the Data Entry sub-page of the Data Analysis page on many sample design dialogs.
Note: Sample Groups (or sometimes called Well Groups) have been replaced with Sample Parameters that have the same functionality. If you previously have Sample Groups in your project file, you will find them in the Sample Parameters. In some cases, new Data Filters have been created to provide the necessary functionality.
