Hi Chris The "summary(lumi_vst)" returns the information shown in the header of your input data file. While the getChipInfo returns the best match to the tables in the HumanIDMapping package. To save the storage space, the HumanIDMapping package does not include all sub-version tables. If two sub-versions have the same probes, it only keep the latest version. So you can use "HumanHT12_V3_0_R3_11283641_A" to map your data. If you provide your own annotationFile, the function assumes your data is annotated with Illumina ProbeID or TargetID. Since your data uses "Array_Address_Id", it reports error.
