Zhengyu,
There is no good way I know to store strings in columns other than the Label
column. You could change the label to include the name by adding the
following code to some place in the macro after you've performed your
measurments. It assumes that you've already stored the operator name in the
variabe "name".

setResult("Label",nResults-1,getResultLabel(nResults-1)+"_"+name);
updateResults();

Afterwards you would have to parse the cell to separate the two.
Alternatively, if don't want to do parsing, use numeric IDs for your
operators, and use setResults() as normal. This is probably a better method
anyhow. You could assign them, or have them use something familiar, such as
their telephone numbers.
