Software Status Bulletin
OpenLAB CDS ChemStation Edition M83xxAA
Known Problem Report as of Nov 25 2024 4:00AM
Preface
-------------------------
This Software Status Bulletin (SSB) documents all known problems in the software
product designated above. The SSB is derived from Known Problem Reports (KPR)
which result from user problems that have been classified as documentation
problems or software defects. When a KPR is written, an identifying number is
assigned to it, and the KPR is added to the next edition of the SSB.
User inputs that have been classified as Enhancement Requests are not documented
in the SSB. User problems that have been submitted, but that have not been
classified by the time the SSB is generated are not included in the SSB.
How to use the SSB
-------------------------
When you experience a problem with a product, first check this SSB to see if the
problem has been reported already, and if there is a temporary workaround
available for the problem, or if the problem has already been fixed by a new
revision. If the problem is not listed in this SSB then you may wish to report
it to the Response Center or to your field support representative.
To determine if your problem is documented in this SSB, first look in the
Keyword Index section of the SSB. Under each keyword is a listing of one-line
descriptions of related KPRs. If any of these sound like yours, locate the KPR
# in the Known Problem Reports section of the SSB, and read the full KPR. The
KPRs in the Known Problem Reports section are sorted by KPR #.
There are two sections in the SSB:
Keyword Index: This index is categorized by keyword. For each KPR there is a
brief description and a KPR #. A KPR may be associated with more than one
keyword.
Known Problem Reports: This section contains KPRs, with all the available
information relevant to the problem. KPRs in this section are sorted by KPR #.

Clear fraction collector delay volumes for unused peak detectors
Problem:
Using the "Time table" > "Trigger time windows" for fraction triggering and a [Peak Detector] is setup for fraction collection, which is not used for triggering but has a non-zero delay volume setup in the fraction collector configuration could happen that fractions are not collected. This happen, if you were using the fraction collector in a previous instrument configuration with a different peak detector or with another detector connected to UIB. If the previous [Peak Detector] is no longer in the current instrument configuration, but its delay volume has not been reset to zero in the fraction collector by LabAdvisor, then the delay volume still contributes in correcting time windows. Time windows are shifted (corrected) by the maximum delay time of all peak detectors, which are setup in the fraction collector.

If you remove a peak detector from your instrument configuration, make sure that any delay volume that is set to it in fraction collector is reset to zero using LabAdvisor.

Unable to unlock ChemStation / Purification Software, if purification software dialog is displayed
Problem:
If an inactivity time to lock application has been set in OpenLAB Control Panel, administration, then Chemstation usage will be protected by a lock dialog after the set time of inactivity. Purification software dialogs hide the lock dialog, but are locked themselves. Therefore it is not possible to unlock the application (ChemStation and purification software).
Temporary Solution:

If ChemStation and purification software got locked, you can access the unlock dialog with help of the Windows Task Manager.

Delay volume setting can cause delay in method download for preparative runs
Problem:
Purification Software sets the fraction collector peak detector delay volume in fraction collector firmware, if the current volumes in firmware do not match the preparative system settings in the purification task. This causes a configuration change of the fraction collector, which could lead to a delayed download of the initial method of the preparative run and temporary offline status of the fraction collector. This could take up to a few minutes. During this time, the pump will run with the set preparative flow rate. The likelihood of this situation increases with the number of delay volumes to be set, i.e. are different from the actual settings in the fraction collector; and the number of peak detectors or fraction collectors which are configured. At the end of the standby sample run, all delay volumes that had been changed before the preparative run are restored to their previous values - as part of the post-run actions. This could lead to a timeout and thus failed reporting of the standby sample run. The run queue is paused during post-run. Due to a delay volume restore, it is possible that the queue is still paused while another scheduled task is trying to start. Task runs are rejected with a message box, when the queue is paused.
Temporary Solution:
The delay volume setting by purification software is needed for changes in delay volumes by different flow rates. If your flow rate is fix or does the delay volume does not depend on the flow rate (no usage of active splitter), set all peak detector delay volumes by LabAdvisor for your configured fraction collectors. If a UIB is configured as well, but not used as auxiliary peak detector for fraction triggering, then set its fraction collector delay volume to zero in LabAdvisor.
Fix Information:
With Purification Software A.01.03 there is no need to run LabAdvisor to perform the delay volume calibration or set the peak detector to fraction collector delay volume. The delay time/volume calibration can be executed from the "Preparative Systems" dialog. If you want to apply the delay times/volumes from your preparative system parameters to the next purification runs, just click the "Write delay times" button from the "Preparative Systems" dialog. This avoids setting for the values before the purification sequence run and restoring the previous values afterwards. If you want the values to be set and restored for only one purification run, purification software is waiting for the configuration change to finish displaying "Waiting for configuration update in ChemStation" in its status line, before submitting the purification run.

Results from stopped analytical runs are not used for preparative runs
Problem:
If an analytical run has been stopped, the result may be incomplete. The purification task logbook tracks the run states. Analytical data source is set to "read analytical data" on task configuration page "Analytical run" after the (stopped) analytical run to indicate where data had been produced. If you proceed with the purification task run and "read analytical data" for the stopped analytical run, the analytical run will be restarted.
Temporary Solution:
If you like to restart the analytical run anyway, then purification software is behaving as expected. If you would like to use the available data from the stopped analytical run, please set up a new task from the same template as your original task and set the analytical data path of your stopped analytical run in the "read analytical data" field on the on purification task configuration page "Analytical run".
Fix Information:
With Purification Software A.01.03, results from stopped or failed (analytical) runs are kept with the task. Therefore, you can proceed with a preparative run for the available samples from a failed or stopped analytical run. If you wish to (re-)run the missed analytical samples of a failed or stopped analytical run: Create a new task as a clone from the task with the failed or stopped analytical run. In the analytical run setup of the cloned task: Click on "Revert to sequence" and select the samples to re-run by editing the sequence.

Problem:

A workaround is to edit the column nominal dimensions (length and diameter) to different values and download them. The method editor will change the internal values stored in the methd to valid values. The column nominal dimensions can then be edited to the correct values and downloaded to the GC. The problem should not recur if that is done once and all parameter values are edited through the data system with driver version 6.21 from then on.

C.01.06 ChemStation with GC/G1888: last run completes but the ChemStation remains in the run state
Problem:
OpenLAB CDS ChemStation Edition C.01.06 with a G1888 sequence never finishes. The last vial completes but the sequence continues to be in the run state and must be stopped manually. Once stop has been selected, allow time for the system to process and cleanup. Try to avoid using abort. Use of ABORT almost immediately terminates all ChemStation activities and processes. This has the potential to leave any currently running sequence in a strange state. Also any consecutive Data Analysis is aborted. When the ChemStation is connected to central storage (OpenLAB ECM or OpenLAB Data Store), no files will be uploaded to the repository after aborting the sequence. Loss of data may occur. After using the Abort function, close and restart the ChemStation Application. Always try STOP first and allow enough time for consecutive processing and cleanup.

Problem:
The peak inflection point position is drawn different compared to the classic reporting. This is because there are multiple valid positions where the point can be drawn.

EIC generation fails in Intelligent Reporting report printout (intermittent)
Problem:
In some circumstances which will be described below, the EIC generation in the report printout may fail. In the cases this extraction are failing, a blank space will be displayed at the area where the EIC should appear. This can only occur when using one decimal digit (such as m/z = 721.3) in the "Extract Ion..." in the "File" menu, or by modifying the signal description in the signal details in the ChemStation Data Analysis view. However, not all EIC with one decimal digit would fail. This is only intermittent in the case that the ion chromatogram description required is not matching to what the report template algorithm would expect.
Temporary Solution:
There are several ways to temporary fix the misleading ion chromatogram extraction: 1. Move the one decimal value with a m/z shift of 0.1 (higher or lower value) 2. Change the m/z extraction range in "signal options" in the "graphics" menu. Default mass defect values are: [-0.3; +0.7]. This can be changed to another value to allow fine EIC extraction

Fraction collector stop times do not end runs
Problem:
For previous firmware revisions, fraction collectors could be stop time masters same as pumps and injectors. If a stop time is set for a stop time master, this will end the run after the time set. In case of multiple possible stop time masters, the shortest time will apply. Other modules can refer to the stop time master (option as pump/injector) or set their own stop times. For other modules, the stop time will not end the run but the module activity, e.g. if the detector has a shorter stop time than the pump, signal acquisition will end before the run. Since firmware A.06.54, fraction collectors can no longer be stop time masters, i.e. their stop times will no longer end a run.

Pump pressure is limited by lowest pressure of a valve in a valve thermostat cluster

If a valve thermostat cluster is configured using one or multiple valves, the valve with the lowest possible maximum pressure determines the maximum pressure of the entire cluster, e.g. a 2-pos/6-port valve with 1300 bar is used for switching between to multicolumn thermostats with column selector valves of 600 bar and 800 bar. Then 600 bar would be the maximum pressure for that cluster and would limit the pump pressure accordingly. In case of two 8-pos/9-port valves using topology 5 (V-C-V), one valve is before the column in the high pressure flow path and the other one after the column in the low pressure flow path. In that case, the valve in the low pressure flow path should not limit the pump pressure but it does. In all other topologies, all valves are as well in the high pressure as low pressure flow path.

Overfill Behavior unclear
Problem:
The Fraction Collectors (G7159B, G1364E/F, G5664B and G7166A) provide a setting for "Overfill Behavior" with which it is possible to specify the action to be taken if the fill volume of a location reaches the max. fill volume per location.

With driver version A.02.19 the parameter "Overfill Behavior" is removed, in order to prevent a loss of sample / fractions and to make the behavior more clear. The LC drivers now imply the following behavior: When Pooling: in case the fill volume of a location reaches the maximum fill volume, the run or sequence is stopped with an error. When not Pooling: in case the fill volume of a location reaches the maximum fill volume, the collection switches to the next available location.

If needed, you may obtain an appropriate replacement file from Agilent. C:\Chem32\CORE\...\DRIVERS\catalog.mdb
Temporary Solution:
The problem is that there are several columns that have the same manufacturer and model number. Our new database software doesn’t handle this. The newer database software (in B.04.02 for example) no longer allows duplicates of manufacturer + model number. i.e., there can only be one HP HP-5 in the database. Note: the new software will inform the user that the model number “xxx” is already in use and request that a different value be chosen. (The user is returned to the original entry screen with all the info filled in.) In theory, customers should not be creating more than one catalog entry with the same model number. It’s like having two items in the LLBean catalog with the same order number! But, of course, the older software allowed the duplicates.

"Method modified after loading" occurs when running a sequence (6890 RC.NET)
Problem:
The "Method modified after loading" flag occurs after lauching the sequence. Started the sequence from the ChemStation software. The method modification status indicates that the method has changed when it was not changed and the report will indicate 'modified after loading'. The GC had a calibrated capillary column that was changed to a packed column. When using this method that now has a packed column, the GC reports an error in the length parameter, and that is causing the method download not to reset the 'modified after loading' flag.

There is a workaround: bring Method into MethodEdit UI, and "reconfigure" column (Packed to Packed would be OK) to get new structure.

Sequence continues while GC temperature is not ready
Problem:
When running a sequence where consecutive runs use the same method using the ALS on a data system containing 6890 driver version 6.10.027 or earlier, the data system may proceed to start a new run before the GC has equilibrated after the conclusion of the previous run. This is more likely if the method contains a post run period of sufficient length that the GC equilibrates to the post-run conditions and the data system has completed data analysis well before the end of the post-run period.

Upgrading B.01.03 to B.04.02 GC ChemStation: Addition of new columns to the column catalog (database) is not possible; error occurs
Problem:
Upon upgrading from B.01.03 to B.04.02 it is no longer possible to add new columns to the GC column catalog (database). The following error is shown: The Catalog File cannot be opened. If needed, you may obtain an appropriate replacement file from Agilent. C:\Chem32\CORE\...\DRIVERS\catalog.mdb
Temporary Solution:
The problem is that there are several columns that have the same manufacturer and model number. Our new database software doesn’t handle this. The newer database software (in B.04.02 for example) no longer allows duplicates of manufacturer + model number. i.e., there can only be one HP, HP-5 in the database. Note: the new software will inform the user that the model number “xxx” is already in use and request that a different value be chosen. (The user is returned to the original entry screen with all the info filled in.) Temporary Fix: Before upgrading, fix the problem with the column database duplicates while running B.01.03 for example. Review the column catalogs and make sure there are no duplicates and fix any that exist before the upgrade.

Switched and standard mode for septum purge not available on MMI
Problem:
For the split/splitless inlet, it is possible to run the septum purge in either standard mode or "switched" mode. In the switched mode, the septum purge is turned off during the injection cycle so that the only flow out of the inlet is through the column. The MMI would benefit from having this mode as well, particularly for splitless and solvent vent modes.

Negative Split Splitless inlet Pressure values during Post Run Backflush
Problem:
When using a 7890A GC with Split Splitless inlet to perform backflush the Inlet Setpoint and Actual Pressure assume negative values on the GC and Chemstation display during backflush. This occurs with a splitter (>2 columns) or with a purged union (Primary column plus restrictor). The columns must be running in "Flow" mode. A similar symptom is the inlet pressure gets set to "0.00" PSI during backflush rather than the wizard recommended value of "1.0" PSI.
Temporary Solution:
The workaround is to set the columns to "pressure" mode then back to flow and re-save the method.

User must select cancel to exit the GC parameter screen. No method resolution occurs when loading method Software loads fine and can make runs. Methods cannot be edited in online or offline mode. The configuration includes 4 packed columns that flow to the Back TCD Detector. Column 1's inlet is PCM C-2 (@ const pressure); 4's inlet is Aux EPC 5 (@ const pressure); and both 2's and 3's inlet is PCM C-1. Column 2's mode is constant flow; and 3, since it is also connected to PCM C-1, is reported as being controlled by #2.

Run time for unsynchronized modules is shortened
Problem:
The runtimes of modules on a CAN bus (1260, 7100, integrated LCs) are handled internally to synchronize start and stop. The same applies to devices attached to the remote bus (e.g. 35900 or MSD). Devices that are not synchronized might be either stopped too early which leads to data loss, or too late which causes time-out errors. This affects ELSD detectors, SFC modules, modules with GCI drivers or 3rd party modules with RC.Net drivers, e.g Waters Alliance modules.
Temporary Solution:
Make sure the runtimes of all modules producing data are identical and no other module has a longer runtime.

Memory leak in RDPShell.exe may cause significant performance decrease on OpenLAB CDS ChemStation AICs
Problem:
The following problem has been reported for OpenLAB CDS ChemStation C.01.0x Acquisition Instrument Controllers (AIC) operated on Windows 2008 R2 SP1 operating systems. Windows 7 or Windows XP operating systems are not affected. A memory leak in RDPShell.exe may cause significant performance decrease as the overall memory usage may exceed 80% after several weeks of operation. This unintended and permanent memory allocation is triggered by moving the ChemStation application window over the client desktop. This problem is acknowledged by Microsoft (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2636613/en-us) and hot fix is available on request. NOTE: The hot fix is not deployed as part of the automated update procedure.
Temporary Solution:
Unpatched AIC machines should be rebooted every 2nd week to release the allocated memory. Note: ChemStation instances need to be shutdown (rather than disconnected) before rebooting the AIC. Use the remote application window in full screen mode only and avoid moving the application window on the client screen. Shutting down the ChemStation instances does not release the memory on the Windows 2008 server as the RDP sessions remain in an idle state untill they are re-used.
Fix Information:
Microsoft offers a hot fix that is not autmatically distributed by the update process. The patch needs to be explicetly requested from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2636613/en-us. Please follow the back-up and installation recommendations from Microsoft. Agilent performed limited tests with the mentioned hot fix and no negative impact was found.

Chromatograms of manually stopped runs are shorter than expected
Problem:
User sometimes stop runs as soon as the expected peaks have eluted as seen from the online plot. The run on disk might not contain those last peaks. The online plot uses a different channel which is unfiltered. Stopping a run will finalize the chromatogram immediately. When the detector has a high filter width (response time), the last data points are not yet stored to the chromatogram.

The vial numbers are checked against method E which has a vial range for the headspace. The sequence cannot be run. If method A is the currently loaded active method, then this sequence will validate and start running.

Missing data points in chromatogram can be perceived as retention time shift.
Problem:
Under certain circumstances data points can be missing in chromatograms. This happens when the instrument is sending data, but the software has not yet acknowledged the start of the run. As a result data points are not recorded from the beginning of the chromatogram. The data points are not time stamped by the hardware. Due to the design of the data protocol they are sorted into the chromatogram starting at 0 minutes. Therefore it appears that data points are missing at the end of the chromatogram. For the user it appears as a retention time shift. The missing part of the chromatogram can range from seconds to over 10 minutes. Factors that make the problem more likely are run start from the hardware (handheld controller, front panel, manual injector, remote start). Fast network and high load on the instrument controller also increase the risk. The problem has so far been observed on FID and VWD signals.

Performance problems with OpenLab ChemStation C.01.07 and C.01.08 with 8890 and 8860 GC instruments
Problem:
The 8890 and 8860 GCs were released after OpenLab ChemStation C.01.07 and C.01.08 and are not properly recognized as an Agilent instrument in some column related functions. When running an unrecognized GC, every time a run is performed 6 lines are added to the columns table which causes it to grow with each injection. Delays related to reading the column table become noticeable when the column table gets too large.
Temporary Solution:
There are 2 workarounds available: 1. Delete the column table in the instrument folder, DRIVE:\Chem32\n\ for OpenLab ChemStation C.01.07, or DRIVE:\Program Data\Agilent Technologies\ChemStation\n\ for OpenLab ChemStation C.01.08 where n is the instrument number for the instrument. The column table is COLUMNSDB.CINV.REG and copies of this information may be stored in the configuration files for the online and offline sessions of the instrument: Config.Reg and Conf_Off.Reg. Make sure all instrument sessions in the ChemStation are closed. Delete COLUMNSDB.CINV.REG, Config.Reg, and Conf_Off.Reg. When the instrument sessions are launched the required files will be rebuilt. 2. Enter the following command on the ChemStation command line: if TabHdrVal(_config[1], "Columns", "NumberOfRows") > 250 then ; DelTabRow _Config[1], "Columns", 251:-1; endif ; The frequency of using either of these workarounds depends on system usage and performance.

Problem:
When an instrument becomes online while an online session is running, instrument parameters in the method might be changed. This can happen, even if the logged on user does not have the privilege to change acquisition parameters.
Temporary Solution:
In order to protect a acquisition method from implicit method changes: - Prohibit usage of handheld LC instrument controller by a procedural control - Protect GC front panel keyboard by locking it in the configuration settings - When performing an instrument cold start the instrument method parameters are rest to factory defaults. Upon start-up of ChemStation or the user gets the option to load the instrument method. This needs to be prevented by choosing the configuration setting "New method from instrument".

Pre-run changes to sequences are not captured in the sequence audit trail
Problem:
The current design of the sequence audit trail introduced with OpenLAB CDS C.01.07 does not cover the modification of sequence templates. Sequence template development is not considered to be traced as it happens before the validation process. Templates can be protected by user privileges and storing the master templates in OpenLAB DataStore or ECM provides versioning to track the history of validated templates. For the sake of usability, the sequence template can be modified before starting the sequence. These changes are currently not tracked in the audit trail.

The pre-run changes done by the sequence submitter can be detected by comparing the sequence template, the final state of the result sequence and the sequence audit trail.

As multiple insert, move and delete operations changes the sequence line numbers, the audit trail needs to refer to the line number at the begin of the operation.

Calibration tables and associated corresponding signal descriptions generated based on extracted UV chromatograms cannot be directly used to generate quantitative reports. The signal description in the signal detail and the chromatogram window do not necessarily match precisely.
Temporary Solution:
If you aim to use the calibration table for compound identification or quantification, you need to ensure the signal description shown in the signal details window matches the signal description in the header of the chromatogram window. For certain UV detectors you need to manually adjust the precision of the wavelength numbers.

Once a row is selected and the Keyboard function Ctrl+C is used, the entire sub-window is no longer available. An error message is generated ("Unknown error for register TempClipReg!") The same behavior was noticed for the Calibration Table and integration results table in Data Analysis view, with the error message "EDTAB 24: Unknown error for Register TempClipreg!" (EDTAB 65 for integration results table)
Temporary Solution:
Attached are macros that add a simplified menu item to copy the integration results to the clipboard. Installation: Just make sure there is no User.Mac file in the \Chem32\Core folder or \Program Files (x86)\Agilent Technologies\ChemStation\Core. If there is, provide a copy so it can be reconciled to the content of the attached User.Mac. If there is no existing User.Mac copy both macro files to \Chem32\Core or \Program Files (x86)\Agilent Technologies\ChemStation\Core folder. Restart the ChemStation and when you go to [Data Analysis] there will be a new [Clip] menu. Operation: Under the [Clip] menu is an item for [Integration Results]. When you click this item the current integration results are copied to the ClipBoard using the default settings. Note: This item copies the integration results for the currently loaded data file. It is not designed to handle more than one signal.

Include/ignore origin in default calibration settings shows a warning
Problem:
A situation can happen when the value of how the origin should be handled is different in the default calibration settings and the value in the calibration table. E.g. in the calibration table the value is “include” and in default calibration settings is “ignore” then a warning comes up, that a point is missing to generate the calibration curve.
Temporary Solution:
Change the values manually to have consistency or uncheck the Def check-box in the calibration table, then the default settings will not apply.

Acquisition Method changed by user without required privileges
Problem:
When an instrument becomes online while an online session is running, instrument parameters in the method might be changed. This can happen, even if the logged on user does not have the privilege to change acquisition parameters.
Temporary Solution:
In order to protect a acquisition method from implicit method changes: - Prohibit usage of handheld LC instrument controller by a procedural control - Protect GC front panel keyboard by locking it in the configuration settings - When performing an instrument cold start the instrument method parameters are rest to factory defaults. Upon start-up of ChemStation or the user gets the option to load the instrument method. This needs to be prevented by choosing the configuration setting "New method from instrument". It is advised to load a stand-by method when closing ChemStation and shutting down the instrument. Upon re-start the stand-by method is loaded again.

Incompatible change in behavior of 2-position/6-port and 2-position/10-port valves in G1170A, G7116B and G4227A compared to Thermostatted Column Compartments G1316A/B/C
Problem:
Multicolumn Thermostats (MCTs) G7116B, External Valve Drives G1170A and Flexible Cubes G4227A are controlling 2-position/6-port valves and 2-position/10-port valves differently from similar Thermostatted Column Compartments (TCCs) like G1316A/B/C. This change of internal valve positions has been introduced for the 1290 Infinity valve drive G1170A and the Flexible Cube G4227A but has not been relevant because no method transfer was needed between rather different modules. Both valves use two positions: Modules Valves Position 1 Position 2 G1316A/B/C 2pos/6port 1->2 1->6 G7116B, G1170A, G4227A 2pos/6port 1->6 1->2 G1316A/B/C 2pos/10port 1->2 1->10 G7116B, G1170A, G4227A 2pos/10port 1->10 1->2 Depending on the module type, different ports are connected by the same method parameter (valve position). If such valves were used e.g. for column selection and columns are connected to ports with same numbers in a new module, a different column may be used by a transferred method. This is displayed correctly in the user interface but may not be expected.

High load on CAN may cause "Spectra runbuffer overflow" entries and a loss of spectra
Problem:
If LAN is connected not to LC module generating most data (i.e. to Pump in spite of DAD's presence) then interconnecting CAN connection between modules might get overloaded. Potential consecutive loss of spectra may be observed and is flagged as "Spectra runbuffer overflow" in logbook and on report.
Temporary Solution:
Installation documentation for LC HW states that the LAN access should be in the module with the highest workload, i.e. by DAD/MWD - FLD - VWD - RID - Pump - ALS (in this order) and independent whether it is a 1100 - 1200 - 1290 - 1260 system.

Keyword: DAD/MWD Driver
One-line Description:
Retention times may be slightly too high for DAD data acquisition rates below 1 Hz
Problem:
If very low data acquisition rates are used for the DAD, these frequencies are rounded in the driver and chromatographic data system. Affected data rates are 0.3125 Hz (rounded to 0.31 Hz, corresponding to 16 seconds response time) and 0.625 Hz (rounded to 0.62 Hz, corresponding to 8 seconds response time). Data acquisition rates are used by the data analysis for calculating the time values from the data point counter (e.g. at 2 Hz, the next data point comes 0.5 seconds later). Because of the rounding, the real module frequency is higher by 0.8% than what is shown in the UI/report and retention times are increased by the same factor. The effect increases with the run time, e.g. a peak coming at 10 minutes would be displayed at 10:05 minutes. This issue has been introduced with LC driver A.02.11 in 2015. It affects all DADs regardless of the CDS. The issue only becomes visible when comparing measurements run with affected drivers and non-affected drivers, but not e.g. between calibration and quantitation runs with the same software.

ChemStation CDS client appears to freeze after hiding a save as dialog
Problem:
The following problem affects OpenLAB CDS Client (ChemStation) rev. C.01.03 or higher. The following workflow lead to a situation where a ChemStation terminal server client session appears to be frozen, where it is not: Whenever downloading a result set from OpenLAB ECM to OpenLAB CDS ChemStation a warning message pops up in case where the same result set is already stored on disk. A message pops up informing the user to save result set with a different name, as it does already exist on the client. After pressing o.k., the SAVE AS dialog comes up and then it may jump behind the ChemStation window to become invisible. This happens when either clicking the ChemStation window while the Save As dialog is open or if the previous info box got committed by a double-click. The second click brings the ChemStation window to the foreground. While the 'save as ' dialog is waiting for a user's input the ChemStation appears to be frozen during the ECM download operation. Even pressing the ALT+TAB keys does not allow accessing the SAVE AS dialog.
Temporary Solution:
If the ChemStation windows was not maximized users could move the foreground window aside and regain access to the 'save as' dialog. If the ChemStation window was maximized: - open the Windows task manager on the CDS client - Select the current instrument under the applications tab - Press the SWITCH TO button This brings the SAVE as dialog back to the foreground.

Bracketing calibrations are not performed when runs other than samples are used in a sequence
Problem:
The documented procedure to run a sequence with bracketing involves only the calibration runs in the first sequence line(s) and the samples that are bracketed in the defined intervals. Users that want to include blanks and control runs outside of the bracket have two undocumented options: 1) Separated methods After the line(s) that define the bracket there can be blanks, calibration runs and control samples with a different acquisition method. The running sequence will execute those runs first, followed by the run with the bracketing method. The update of the methods with the most current calibration method can be done from data analysis view. This option works as expected. 2) Dummy Calibration runs The other option was to have the same acquisition method all over the sequence. All the additional blanks and controls are disguised as calibration runs with RF set to No Update. Also those dummy runs are executed first. The disadvantage here is that a Control needs to be evaluated manually. This second option does not work as expected in C.01.06 and C.01.07. When a bracket calibration should be executed, the software switches to Replace calibration. It is documented in the run log. Note: Easy Sequence does not support this workflow.
Temporary Solution:
The second option can still be realized, but the sequence table must be written differently. It must be written in its rolled-out state. That is to say that every singe injection needs to be scheduled by its own line in the sequence table. The entries in the fields inj/location must be 1. The Interval column is not used. The cells for the RF Update must be set to Bracket.

Problem:
In the Japanese manual (M8301-96025) the formula for the Peak/Valley ratio on page 37 is wrong: H1 = H2, Peak valley ratio = H1/Hv (this is wrong. It should be H2/Hv) and H1 < H2, Peak valley ratio = H1/Hv This is a misprint in the manual. The formula is used correctly in the software.

Problem:
The OpenLAB CDS ChemStation reference manual states: "The correlation coefficient is the square root of the regression coefficient and gives a measure of the fit of the calibration curve between the data points." The term regression coefficient is not correct in this context and should be replaced by coefficient of determination, known as r square.

Peak Model Retention Time used but not saved or documented
Problem:
For system suitability calculations, the ChemStation uses the true peak width at various heights and a retention time evaluated by a peak modelling algorithm. The retention time that is visible in all reports is the integrator RT. This value is used for peak identification (chapter 3) and in recalibration. The peak model algorithm considers the peak shape and is more suitable for the calculation of peak performance parameters. The value is exclusively displayed in the Interactive Peak Performance tool. The Peak Model's Apex may vary slightly to the Integrator's RT and is displayed in the interactive peak performance tool user interface.

In Sequence Parameters dialog a missing backslash of remote data path needs to be corrected.
Problem:
By OpenLAB ChemStation Edition C.01.04 the requirement for ECM's remote data path (LCDF) became more strict than before. If for editing the Sequence Parameters dialog is opened, and a backslash at the LCDF's begin is missing, the builtin check of this dialog-box will demand a manual correction by the user. This can happen especially once loading a sequence template file from an earlier version of OpenLAB ChemStation Edition. The later release of OpenLAB ChemStation Edition (like e.g. C.01.05) will tolerate and correct the missing leading backslash at ECM's remote datat path (LCDF) in Sequence Parameters dialog automatically. Execution of sequences by OpenLAB ChemStaation Edition is not affected. I.e. sequence templates do NOT have to be corrected, neither for sequence execution nor for sequence reprocessing.
Temporary Solution:
Leaving the opened Sequence Parameters Dialog by OK is interdicted until all parameters are in valid ranges. This now for OpenLAB ChemStation C.01.04 requires the remote data path (LCDF) for ECM to start with a leading backslash. If at some sequence template (e.g. from an earlier version of OpenLab ChemStation Edition) this character was missing, it now has to be inserted. Only then the Sequnece Parameters dialog can be successfully closed and left with OK-button.

Incomplete Result Set package (sc.ssizip) was sent to ECM: versions do not contain the data files

Incomplete Result Set package (sc.ssizip) was sent to ECM. The incomplete ssizip package is caused by a specific character in the method name (e.g. DLX-ENANTIOMERIC-33℃.M). The degree symbol (℃) in the method name causes the Dynazip compression tool to fail and stop, resulting in an incomplete package uploaded to OpenLAB ECM. As long as the ChemStation is not closed, the local copy was available and was reprocessed to create additional versions. Each of these versions also was missing data since the compression failed again on the special character. The option "Cleanup Data on Shutdown" was selected, so the local copy of the data was also deleted when shutting down the ChemStation. In such a case, the data was lost and can't be recovered.

ECM upload may fail with warning: Could not read VCS insformation for 'C:\Chem32\1\VcsCache\
Problem:
Under some rare circumstances the upload of result sets to ECM may fail with error message "Could not read Vcs information for 'C:\Chem32\1\VcsCache\ShouldBeHidden\<file identifier> . This error can be observed in cases where the file got uploaded successfully, but the upload command file did not get deleted. The system generated deletion of a file may happen if the file is currently accessed by another process or the PC is shutdown unexpectedly. Real-time protection and on-access scanning anti-virus software is the most likely cause for this unexpected file access.
Temporary Solution:
The likelihood of this error can be reduced by introducing controlled shutdown procedures for Workstations and Acquisition Controllers and by excluding the \\chem32 installation directory from "on-access" virus scanning - as generally recommended for OpenLAB CDS ChemStation. Virus scanning should be done on a scheduled basis while the OpenLAB CDS ChemStation application is closed.

incomplete versions of result sets are uploaded to the back end storage.
Problem:
Certain situations are possible where incomplete versions of result sets are uploaded to the backend storage. This affects all ChemStation versions with ECM or Data Store. These situations are triggered by the way that online and offline versions of the same instrument are aligned. A workflow is likely to provoke such a situation, when the same result set is loaded in both sessions at the same time.
Temporary Solution:
Avoid situations that trigger a forced upload. Save all methods, sequences and manual integrations, both in offline and online, before closing either session. Or in other words: Don't close one of the sessions, while the upload barrel in either of the sessions is still yellow. Hotfix 08 for CHemStation C.01.05 addresses this problem.

Problem:
A manual injection is done and if the STOP on the 7820A front panel is selected, the GC stops (and resets the initial GC settings) but the chemstation continues. When the STOP button is pushed on the 7820A, the "current logbook" reports the end of run correctly, and reports the system is running data analysis but does not go into Data Analysis right away. If this is a 30 minute run, and the STOP button is pressed on the 7820A after 10 minutes, AND YOU WAIT 20 more minutes until the Chemstation gets to the end of the run, a report is generated. The system appears to hang up waiting on the expected run time.

Problem:
“Autostart Macro failed, error #999 occurred” error message when starting ChemStation. It is not possible to successfully start an offline or online session.
Temporary Solution:
With most autostart errors the situation can be resolved by removing the configuration files in the instrument folder. In the instrument folder (Chem32\X\) there are subfolders for DATA, METHODS, etc... There are also single files that store recent activities for a faster startup. Rename those single files. Typically there is a Config.reg, Conf_Off.reg, and other files with the extensions config, mth or xml. Rename them by adding the extension .old. The files are rebuild after the next successful start of a session. In at least one case incomplete entries were found in the ChemStationPerInstrumentSettings.config file. Do not rename or delete other files or folders. Be aware that for LC applications the config.reg file contains the information for the columns. On systems without column tags the column data has to be entered manually. More complex entries about hardware configurations (LC module clusters) are written to the file RapidControlInstrumentConfig.xml. It can save time to leave these two files untouched first and rename only the others. There have been other cases, where user specific files were corrupted. The files in question are called user.config and are stored in the application data. (AppData\local\\Agilent_Technologies\...\userconfig). On a workstation these files are user specific, while on an AIC they are instrument specific. They can be renamed to user.old as well.

For disabling TLS 1.0 on AIC's with Server 2016, SQL with high availability DB is needed
Problem:
On an AIC on Windows 2016 Server, if TLS 1.0 gets disabled, it is not possible to launch/configure instruments on AIC or client and AIC software throws exceptions. Note: This would not be observed on an OS Windows 2019 server.
Temporary Solution:
As a workaround it is possible to install Microsoft SQL Express with Management Studio in Windows authentication mode, and do some configuration steps of SQL and the RDS service. Add the "NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE" to the SQL Server administrators and give it later the server role "dbcreator" with Management Studio. Create a folder for the database and give "NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE" full control. Enable TCP/IP for the SQL instance and configure port 1433 for IPALL. In the Server Manager navigate to Remote Desktop Services/Overview. Right click on RD Connection Broker and select "Configure High Availability". Under configuration type select "Dedicated database server". In the configuration the qualified DNS name, connection string and the database folder mentioned above. Then the IISCrypto tool can be used to unconfigure TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 and keep TLS 1.2 configured. Restart to apply the settings.

User is not asked to save manual integration events when manual events are stored in the method
Problem:
When in the Integration Events Table the option "Method Manual Events" is enabled, the ChemStation assumes the default for storing manual integration events is the method. When the user manually integrates the runs with this setting, he will not get asked whether he wants to save them when he changes the method. In order to trigger this he would have to first select "update manual events of method" from the Integration menu. This behavior differs from the situation when the events are stored in the data file: In that case, the user always gets asked when switching to the next data file without any additional activity from the user. This defect implies that it could easily happen that the events are not stored. When working with OpenLAB Option, the manual events do not get uploaded to ECM.
Temporary Solution:
Traceability is nevertheless given, since the events are described in the data file log, and the report is in the report history.

Misleading display of tangent peak width
Problem:
The annotation of the tangent peak width in the performance tool is done by highlighting the part the baseline defined by the intersection with the tangents. It has been considered as misleading, because the drawing suggests that the tangent width is the length of the baseline segment. The mathematical truth is the projection of the segment on the time axis. This is what the tool calculates.
Temporary Solution:
The calculation is done correctly. All other peaks widths are drawn as horizontal lines. Only the tangent width is drawn following the baseline which better describes how the tangent width is constructed.

Second: Lacking the required permission to unlock, the user is denied access and the session remains locked. Only the first step is written to the Activity Log which is successful, leaving the impression that the user successfully logged into the session.

Method modification date in classic reports is the sequence acquisition date
Problem:
The method modification date that is printed in classic reports is the date the master method is copied into the result set folder, thereby becoming a sequence method. The reason is that this copy event is included in the method audit trail which is part of the method. Therefore it can be argued that this time stamp makes sense. The date is not as useful as the last interactive method change, The IR reports have time stamps for the last change to acquisition parameters and the last change to data analysis parameters.

Changing the sample type in a sequence with cyclic calibration corrupts the sequence structure
Problem:
When a sequence has been run with cyclic calibration, it is not possible to change the sample type for the calibration runs to Sample. When this is done and the sequence is reprocessed, the sequence structure is corrupted. The sequence cannot be loaded in the Navigatio Table. The Navigation Table will not be usable and the ChemStation has to be closed and reopened. In Cyclic calibrations the structure of the sequence, the order of runs and the file naming depend very much on the sequence table setup. Later changes will cause conflicts.

To reconstruct the original sequence the batch file needs to be removed from the sequence folder. Clear the Navigation Table and load the individual runs from the file menu. Then create a new result set from the runs using the functionality from the Sequence menu.

How to restore the UI: The Navigation Table is still there and functional. Aim a right-mouse-click to where the column header would be. When the context menu pops up, select "Hide Auto Filter Row". Exit the online or offline session where the problem occured. Go the folder on your hard disk where the ChemStation is installed and open the subfolder with the instrument number. So, for instrument 3 you would navigate to Chem32\3\ and locate the files config.reg and conf_off.reg for the online and offline session respectively. Delete these files. Be aware that these files contain some custom information like the configured LC columns, classic custom report styles and other information that needs to be added again.

Reprocessing of old (C.01.05 or earlier) result sets might skip runs from the Navigation Table
Problem:
In C.01.06 the Sequence Table acquires and reprocesses in a "rolled-out" state. This means that cyclic recalibrations and replicate injections are resolved as one sequence line per injection. It has been found that sequences from revisions of C.01.05 and older are migrated incorrectly, when they are written in a certain way. When replicates have been defined in the old sequence as consecutive sequence lines (one sequence line per injection), they are not reprocessed properly. One or more runs might be missing from the navigation table, although they are still part of the result set and they are listed in the sequence table. The sequence contains runs that are identical, but appear in separate lines. They do not need to be rolled-out. They already are. But when the migration takes place, they are assigned file names that would match a situation when a roll-out has been performed. These assigned file names do not occur in the result set and are therefore skipped. Example: Three identical samples in a row, submitted as 3 injections from vial xxx in one line would be named: xxx0101.d, xxx0102.d, xxx0103.d That is what the sequence engine would assign as names. Three identical samples injected from vial xxx submitted as three lines would be named: xxx0101.d, xxx0201.d, xxx0301.d During reprocessing only the data file with the name xxx0101.d would be found. The two additional injections would be lost.
Temporary Solution:
The easiest way to avoid or repair this situation is making the replicate runs distinguishable from one another. Make a modification to a parameter that is not required. For example add a counter to the sample info in the sequence table. Save the sequence table and reprocess again. The sequence info would be a good place to add a note for documentation.

ChemStation hangs after starting notepad using ExecNoWait
Problem:
ChemStation macros use the CP command ExecNoWait to start other applications, e.g. Notepad to show a text file.

Resolved in OpenLab ChemStation LTS 01.11 Update 04. The implementation of ExecNoWait does not wait anymore until the started application finishes its initialization.

If issues show up in such a scenario a new optional parameter of ExecNoWait can be used to specify the time (in seconds) how long ExecNoWait shall wait for the completion of the initialization, e.g.: ExecNoWait "Notepad.exe", 1, 1 waits maximum a second for the completion of the initialization.

Solvent compositions during run do sometimes not sum up to 100%
Problem:
In some cases, the real-time display for solvent compositions shown by the pump panel during a run may not sum up to 100% but to a percentage slightly higher or lower. This is because the user interface updates solvent compositions indepently per channel, i.e. channel A may still read 50% while channel B has already increased to 50.1%. This is a display issue, not a gradient formation issue. The gradient sent to and formed by the pump is correct, so the virtual display in the user interface has no relevance for chromatographic measurement results.

Unused solvents are handled differently for 1100/1200 Series/1260 Infinity vs. 1290 Infinity/Infinity II pumps
Problem:
The time table of a pump allows the definition of a gradient table. Section "Solvents" allows setting, which solvents shall be used. Disabling a solvent by unchecking it in the solvent section is implemented differently depending on the module type. A: Modules with firmware revision A, e.g. 1100/1200 Series and 1260 Infinity pumps. If a solvent is disabled, its contribution to the solvent composition will be set to zero and the contribution of channel A will increase accordingly. This is not displayed in the gradient table or report. The intended use of the checkbox is a temporary change of the composition for flushing solvent channels. Do not disable solvents during method runs. B/D: Modules with firmware revision B or D, e.g. 1290 Infinity/Infinity II pumps and 1260 Infinity II pumps. If a solvent is disabled, this changes the solvent composition outside method runs (e.g. for flushing) and the start condition of the gradient. It does not change solvent conditions for any other lines in the gradient table. The gradient table is fully valid. This different implementation also needs to be considered when transferring methods from previous to new pumps.
Temporary Solution:

This is caused by different firmware interfaces of revision A vs. revisions B/D. This cannot be changed without negative side effects for existing methods. Therefore, no driver fix will be provided. All new pumps are using the better implementation B.

Purge function has been improved for Preparative Pump Clusters

If a composition is set for purging, multiple channels can be purged at the same time. Since driver A.02.12, purge valve A is still open whenever any pump within the cluster is purged. In addition, purge valves of all other channels, which have a composition to the purge flow, will open as well, such that solvent can leave through the corresponding valve.

Intelligent Reporting : Last displayed digits might be cut off, in cases where the number is zero
Problem:
If the number formatting scheme "1234.000" is used, the selected number of digits is not shown in case the last digit is zero. A number such as 1.340 will be displayed as 1.34, which does not contain the same information as initially intended. This issue affects also the rounding mechanism used for peak labels.
Temporary Solution:
The formatting scheme "1,234.000" can be used as this scheme is not affected by the defect. For chromatogram labeling (e.g. retention time), the expression FORMATNUMBER(Fields!PEAK_RETENTIONTIME.Value,3,True,False,True) can be copied to the expression editor of the peak label. The FORMATNUMBER command is not available in the expression editor, but still a valid and supported command. It can also be applied to other data fields containing numbers.

Problem:
This information is relevant only for Intelligent Reporter template edition on OpenLAB CDS A.02.01 and A.02.02, ChemStation or EZChrom Edition. The filters using a space in a string expression will appear stripped when the report template is closed and reopened. The filter itself will be still functional, but will not appear correct any longer. This is just a a wrong display of the expression in the report editor. When editing a report template, and, using a space in a text filter expression such as : Compound_Name = "Compound 1" When the report template is saved, closed and then reopened, the expression will appear as following: Compound_Name = "Compound1" This expression will not be displayed correctly in the editor, but will be still functional with the correct "Compound 1 " expression filter when generating a report.

Cannot calculate summary statistics on columns containing variable or aggregator
Problem:
When using variable or aggregator in a table column of a report template. It would not be possible to compute a summary calculation of the list of value in this column. The summary calculation results, such Standard deviation, or sum for example, will appear like "NaN". This is a limitation of the Microsoft report renderer working underneath Intelligent Reporting to generate a report in OpenLAB Rev. A , ChemStation edition or EZChrom edition.
Temporary Solution:
To compute a summary calculation of a column using variable or aggregator, the table summary calculation functionality cannot be used. To be able to compute these summary calculations, a temporary solution is as following: 1. Save the value entered in the column value as an aggregator (Go to the "column properties", click on the expression editor "fx" in the "value" tab, and then on "Save Expression Result As") 2. Select "Aggregator", and type the name of the desired "Calculation Aggregator Name" 3. Click "ok" in all properties dialogs 4. Insert a single text field below the table from the report items tree 5. In the text field value expression, in the field tree, select the "variable" node, and click on "aggregator" 6. In this "aggregator", select the aggregator previously created, and select the summary calculation that would need to be computed (sum, avg, stdev, ...) 7. Select both report items, the single text box, and the table used, and click-right on the two selected items to select the "group" option 8. Once the group created, click-right on the frame surrounding the two report items grouped, and select properties 9.

Filter definition does not always allow usage of OR operators
Problem:
The usage of OR operators in report filter conditions is only allowed when combining several different report parameters to one filter expression. In cases where a report parameter may fulfill multiple filter conditions (e.g. Instrument Name = Instrument A or Instrument B), the report template editor does not allow using an OR operator. This is a limitation due to the definition of the operators available for filtering in report rendering (Microsoft Reporting Services). http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms154029(v=sql.90).aspx. In particular, there is no "OR" at all.
Temporary Solution:
The exception is the "IN" operator, which allows a FilterExpression to be compared against a list of FilterValues. The desired filtering may also be achieved by using wildcards (*) in combination with a CONTAINS condition. For number, the usage of > and < conditions could be used to achieve the desired filtering. For external report parameters (e.g. filtering for multiple sample types) the following JOIN statement could be used in the expression editor of the filter: [=Join(Report_Parameter_0, " ").Contains(Sample_Type 1) = True] = "True"

Problem:

File corruption may cause sequence runs appearing as single runs
Problem:
Under specific circumstance sequence runs may appear as single runs on OpenLAB CDS Intelligent Reports. Sequence related information does not appear on the report and multi-injections appear as single injections. The sequence context of an analysis run is stored in <sequence name>.b file inside the result set. In case of a file corruption the .b file is incomplete and the affected run gets a sample.acaml result file attached that indicates the run as a single run.
Temporary Solution:
To prevent file corruption: - Exclude the \chem32 from active virus protection - Check the computer harddisk for errors and repair/replace the disk in case of errors. To correct the mentioned error: - delete the sample.acaml file inside the .D folder of the affected run - reprocess the sequence to re-generate a consistent .B file.
Fix Information:
With introduction of rev. C.01.05 of OpenLAB CDS ChemStation it is sufficient to reprocess the sequence in order to re-generate a consistent .B file and to replace the sample.acaml result file by a sequence.acaml result file. With C.01.03 HF07 installed, it is sufficient to reprocess the sequence in order to re-generate a consistent .B file and to replace the sample.acaml result file by a sequence.acaml result file. HF 07 does not actively prevent file corruption.

Calibration curve plot shows only the order of the calibration level but not it's label.
Problem:
The calibration curve plot of Intelligent Report shows only the order of the calibration level but not it's label. OpenLAB CDS ChemStation allows users to label calibration levels independent of the order of concentration or creation. E.g. if a user labels the calibration levels like 5, 10, 60 the calibration curve plot shows 1, 2, and 3 where it should read 1., 2., 3.. The label of the calibration level cannot be displayed. If you label your calibration your levels like 1,2,3, n+1, .... you are not affected by this defect.
Temporary Solution:
For the time geeing it is recommended to use the amount of the calibrated compound as a calibration level label in the curve plot. The user defined calibration level label can be reported along with the quantification results of the calibration runs.

Run log files and sequence logfiles do not show any error events, if the run is aborted by a power failure, termination of application processes or shutdown of the PC.
Temporary Solution:
In case of an aborted acquisition run, consider the affected run results to be rejected. In general: - Ensure a robust power supply, implement UPS solutions in case of repeated power failures - Do not enforce a remote shut down of the PC or AIC while acquisition is in progress - Do not unplug power cables of PC or instrument modules while acquisition is in progress - Do not use the "Abort" function while acquisition is in progress.

Problem:
Since the introduction of the new sequence table in C.01.06 a sequence is executed as a worklist where every injection is represented by a single line.

Single Peak's Peak area is different from Total area for classical built in report
Problem:
In some situations OpenLAB CDS "internally" may calculate with more digits than visible on the GUI or listed on the final report. In some cases the number of digit for rounding a final total may even defer from the digit of those during previous operations. As a result the real sum of the visible single numbers on a report may differ from the result shown at the end. This could even result in a difference between e.g. the area “sum” of a single value (one peak only) and it´s “total”. This is not a OpenCDS ChemStation malfunction but a mathematical effect that may occur in every software that internally calculates more exactly than visible on a GUI or report for more convenient readability. This effect is typically limited on the very last digit. Example: 10.123507893450 + 10.000569993551 = 20.124077887001 If only 5 digits are displayed (cut off after the 5th digit) this would result in: 10.12350+ 10.00056= 20.12407 If the result would be rounded a the 6th digit but the summands only at the 12th but all values are shown with 5 digits it would even be: 10.12350+ 10.00056= 20.12408 A further issue is the fact that computers internally use binary formats for numbers which have to be transferred to decimal values. This brings some additionals issues (google for: Floating Point Numbers, Mantissa, Exponents, IEEE 754) which cannot be fixed in the ChemStation.

Classic Report area% calculation can provide incorrect results
Problem:
The calculation in Area percent and height percent reports might be incorrect. The total sum of the response percent values do not add up to 100%. This occurs under the following conditions: - There is more than one signal. - In at least one of the signals no peaks are found. - The report setting specifies that peak results are sorted by retention time. If the above conditions are met a value of 2 is subtracted from the total sum of areas and heights for every signal without peaks. This reduced sum is used in the calculation of the percent values. In the case of one single peak, or of few, small peaks, even the area( height) percent value of a single peak can be higher than 100%. Intelligent Reports calculate the values correctly.

FCC: When switching Fraction Collectors during a run in an asymmetrical setup, unexpected fractions might be collected and reported
Problem:
When having a Fraction Collector Cluster (FCC) with different delay volumes between the detector and the Fraction Collectors (FC) and it is switched from one Fraction Collector to another during a run, the following behavior can be observed: Due to the different delay volumes, every FC has another delay time and thus its own timeline. When switching from one FC to another, timelines are also switched, which can lead to the effect that a certain time span is run through either twice or not at all. This depends on the different delay volumes.
Temporary Solution:

When working with Fraction Collector Clusters it should be taken care to use exactly the same delay volumes between the detector and all FCs (symmetric structure).

Missing compounds are not reported when using the IR report snippet "not-found compounds"
Problem:
When using the report snippet "not-found compounds" in your Intelligent Report template, the report does not list the mentioned compounds at all. This defect affects software version C.01.10 including updates 1 through 7 as well as version LTS 01.11 w/o Update 1. It is caused by the report item "Compound_ExpectedSignal" being empty. This report item is used in a built-in filter condition, to avoid that missing compounds get reported as many times as there are signals defined in the method. User designed result tables with filter conditions based on e.g. expected retention times are not affected and missing compounds are reported. If the mentioned snippet was used in an older release as a template for writing a different kind peak result table, the filter condition might be unnecessary. However, it still may affect the peak results table after a software upgrade.
Temporary Solution:
In order to report the "not-found compounds" delete the current filter based on the filed "Compound_ExpectedSignal". In case of a single-signal method, the missing compounds are reported only once. In case of multi-signal methods you can suppress the redundant reporting of missing compounds by filter for compounds where the expected retention time is > 0.

Peak Performance calculations are off when data points are not equidistant
Problem:
ChemStation B.04.03 (and OpenLAB CDS ChemStation C.01.03) introduced a new algorithm for the calculation of peak performance parameters. The algorithm assumes that the data rate is constant across the signal. LCMS data with SIM groups that are not overlapping will cause a problem, becasue the data points are not at regular intervals across the whole chromatograms. There will be gaps without data points. In these cases the peak tangents are calculated incorrectly. The peaks drawn in the classic performance report and the interactive peak performance tool show obvious issues: The peaks are not centered at the reported retention time. The horizontal lines for peaks width and the vertical line for height do not match the peak outline. The tangents are obviously wrong. Depending on the peak integration the tangents and peak height might not be on the report at all. The algorithm used in ChemStation B.04.02 and earlier did also have a problem with this kind of data, but it has not been that obvious. The tangent calculations were still incorrect
Temporary Solution:
Define SIM groups across the whole chromatogram in the acquisition method. The time segments for the SIM groups should overlap. For existing old data use the signal details to load only the time segment described by one SIM group.

Incorrect Sample location reported for bracketing
Problem:
Sequence that are run with bracketing calibrations have sometimes the vial location wrong in IR reports. The first sample after a calibration bracket might repeat the location of the standard. The classic sequence summary report gets it right. This is caused by a timing issue. Reprocessing the sequence will result in correct IR reports.

Report generation hanging when the report template has a custom scaling
Problem:
This issue concerns reports including a custom chromatogram plot scaling. This has been observed only intermittently with some data. Depending on how the data points are distributed, the report rendering service may enter into an infinite calculation loop. In such cases, the report generation process would hang on the system when generating the report. The memory as well as the CPU consumptions would then raise significantly, until the report fails to be generated.
Temporary Solution:
As this is data related, for such affected data, changing the custom scaling can help. For example if a custom Y-scaling from -2% to 5% fails to generate the injection report, changing the values to -1% to 6% can potentially work.

That caused a ping pong situation where the CDS sends the complete configuration to the driver which detects the differences due to the incorrect internal configuration propagation and therefore triggers a new configchanged event.

Do not use instructions Inject, Valve and Remote in injector programs in case of overlapped injections
Problem:
When using instructions Inject, Valve with parameter "Main Start" or Remote with parameter "Start" in combination with overlapped injections, this may cause a second run start during the initial run. This may result in runs with infinite run times; the dashboard indicates that modules would have completed a run but actually the run continues. Also, several samples may be injected during the same run. In the special case of a customer using an injector program which is not intended for the use with overlapped injection, this may result in the injection of a second sample during the same run.

Do not change injection method parameters during overlapped injection
Problem:
Overlapped injection means, that the next sample (injection 2) has already been drawn during the analysis of the current sample (injection 1). It may be possible to change injection parameters like the injection volume or sample location during a run. As the injection of a sample is done by switching the injection valve, changed injection parameters do not affect the injection of a sample, which has been drawn already. Example: 1. The first injection injects 5 sample 2. During this run, 5 µl of the next sample are drawn per overlapped injection 3. The user changes the injection volume to 2 µl 4. After completion of run 1, the second injection is done with 5 µl (which is the sample volume in the needle/sample loop) However, an injection volume of 2 µl may be reported for the second run, as the method has been changed before the start of this run.
Temporary Solution:
Changing method parameters during the run always carries a risk, as this may interfere with the current instrument status or ongoing chromatography, e.g. changing a gradient composition or flow rate. Use such functionality with care. Avoid using this functionality during overlapped injection. Agilent OpenLAB CDSs allow restricting the access to this feature (change during run) depending on the user role. This restriction is recommended for standard users.
Fix Information:
Driver A.02.16 and sampler firmware D.07.13 prohibit the change of injection parameters during an overlapped injection by aborting that run.

Under special circumstances, wrong injection volumes may be reported for ChemStation sequences of overlapped injections by the Multisampler
Problem:
This may be seen when Multisamplers G7167A/B or G5668A are used in overlapped injection mode in ChemStation sequences. If the injection volume (e.g. 2 µl) is set in the sequence table (line 1) and the subsequent line (line 2) in the sequence table does not set a volume, that injection will use the volume of the method (e.g. 5 µl) in line 2, which is the correct behavior. However the report will show the sequence injection volume (2 µl) of line 1 for the method injection volume (5 µl) in line 2, which may be a different volume. If the third line does not set a volume in the sequence table either, the method injection volume has been changed by the sequence. i.e. 2 µl will be injected and reported, while 5 µl would have been the expected volume.
Temporary Solution:
Do not use G7167A, B or G5668A with overlapped injection in combination with a sequence table that sets the injection volume in ChemStation. Either set the injection volume in the method or in all lines of the sequence table.

Data files from different sequences can end up in one result set
Problem:
A situation can occur, where sequence data that should be stored in their own result set can appear in an existing result set, possible overwriting existing data. The following procedure caused this: Open the Partial Sequence... dialog and select an existing result set for partial acquisition. The sample selection screen appears. Close this screen by using the x button in the upper right corner or by pressing the Esc key. This does not properly clean up the process. The next sequence that will be queued will end up in the existing result set that has been selected earlier.
Temporary Solution:
Use the Cancel button to exit the partial sequence dialog when no action is intended. If the existing and the new sequence have no file names in common, the runs can be divided into two result sets by means of the Create New Result Set... function in the Data Analysis view. Systems with backend storage allow access to all data files and restoration of the separate result sets can by done manually.

Option to Clear Calibration Curve in Sequences does not work for multiple Calibration runs
Problem:
A new method setting has been introduced that clears the history of the calibration table. The interactive part of resetting the responses and retention time works as described. There is also a setting where the first calibration run in a sequence clears the calibration history for all levels. There is a defect that the calibration curve is cleared for all calibration runs following the first occurrence until the first sample injection. If there is more than one level in the calibration table, the result is not the one described in the help. A Replace setting in a sequence table would also clear the history, but one level will be updated at a time. The calibration curves will be composed of new and historic data points, and they will always have the same number of levels. The new method setting clears all levels and will fill them with values as the calibration runs are executed. So a calibration curve will evolve during a sequence from being level 1 to a level 2, level 3, etc curve. The levels that are not yet populated with new values will be ignored. The defect is that the curves are cleared with every calibration run, so that after the last calibration the curves are all Level 1 curves. Only the last level is active, which might result in an invalid curve.
Temporary Solution:
The missing levels need to be manually recalibrated from the Data Analysis view. (menu Calibration > Recalibrate..., Replace. Save the sequence method afterwards and recalculate the samples.

If a longer path was intended to be used, the additional subfolders are dropped. Example: The following paths are configured X:\data\1\ X:\data\1\survey\ The user edits the sequence parameters, selects X:\data\1\survey\ as a path and February as a subdirectory. The Subfolder February is created in the expected location. The sequence will, however, store X:\data\1\ as a path and Survey as the subdirectory.

Problem:
When the sequence table is scrolled to the right, the fixed, first 2 columns stay visible. By setting focus with a mouse click in any cell such as data file, then a dark gray wipe over the screen to the bottom of the table happens.

Data points of UV spectra can carry inaccurate wavelength values
Problem:
It can happen that data with UV spectra do not load into the Isoabsorbance plot . The cause have been several rounding steps in the data transfer from hardware to software. Typically the difference is small for the starting wavelength, but can accumulate for the end wavelength. For example a spectrum with the expected range from 200 to 400 with step 2 nm can result in values... from 199.95 to 394.95 with step 1.95 nm. Since the end value is calculated by start value + step wdth * steps, the small difference of 0.05 nm is applied one hundred times. While the total difference might still seem small, it can lead to the situation that the Isoabsorbance Plot will not open.
Temporary Solution:
Addressed in Hotfix 01 for ChemStation C.01.07 SR2. The fix will provide correct raw data. It does not fix the problem that inaccurate data are not accepted in the Isoabsorbance Plot.

Problem:
While running registerCS.bat, no registration in OpenLAB Shared Services will happen. You will receive following message in command prompt: ‘C:\Program’ is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. The reason for this behavior is that the new installation path for the ChemStation now contains spaces C:\Program Files (x86) which was not the case before C:\Chem32
Temporary Solution:
To fix this issue, you have to modify registerCS.bat manually. Use Notepad to edit the RegisterCS.bat file. 1. On computers with User Access Control enabled, you will need to open Notepad as an Administrator by right-clicking on the Notepad program and select Run as Administrator. If you do not Run as Administrator, you will not be able to save your changes. 2. From Notepad, navigate to the RegisterCS.bat file found under C:\Program Files (x86)\Agilent Technologies\ChemStation\CORE. 3.

Graphic artifacts/software crashes caused by graphic settings
Problem:
Several problems have been observed on various ChemStation revisions that were the result of one common cause: Video settings that were adjusted for best appearance can cause graphic artifacts and can even cause the ChemStation software to crash.
Temporary Solution:
Adjust the display settings for best performance rather than for best appearance. This will free resources and prevent video artifacts from anti-aliasing or filtering attempts by the video driver. The procedures below refer to Windows Classic screens and Control Panel in Classic View. The following steps are recommended depending on the operating system: Windows XP ----------------- 1) Go to Start > Control Panel > System. On the Advanced Tab press the settings button in the Performance section. Under Visual Effects select "Adjust for best performance". Press the OK button. 2) Go to Start > Control Panel > Display. On the Settings tab press the Advanced button. On the Troubleshooting tab set the slider for Hardware acceleration to None. Press the OK button. Windows Vista and Windows 7 ------------------------------------------- 1) Go to Start > Control Panel > System. Select Advanced system settings. On the Advanced Tab ress the Settings... button in the Performance section. Under Visual Effects select "Adjust for best performance". Press the OK button. 2) Go to Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools. Select Services. Right click on the Desktop Window Manager Session Manager. In the context menu select Properties.

Takeover without privilege can result in a locked session
Problem:
Question: What happens in the following situation in a distributed system? User Ted leaves a ChemStation session open and locks it privately. User Todd launches the same instrument on his client. . He has the privilege for session takeover, but lacks the privilege to break a session lock. The latter is required to log on to a privately locked session. Answer: Ted's session is terminated on his client. Todd's session starts with the logon dialog. His privileges do not allow him to actually logon. The session on his screen is locked. He cannot disconnect from it nor return it to Ted.
Temporary Solution:
Ted can actively take back his session. Even without the privileges for Takeover and Break Lock. Since Todd never logged in, Ted is still the owner of the session and can take it back on his client. He might need to wait two minutes after Todd's takeover attempt.

This behaviour is the intended outcome for this combination of privileges.

OpenLAB CDS client: Scrambled user interface after unlocking locked Windows session
Problem:
Distributed OpenLAB CDS ChemStation systems may suffer from the graphics following problems on the client side: After unlocking a Windows a lock on the client PC, the maximized ChemStation windows gets shifted by appr. 5x5 pixels to the right and the bottom of the screen. In this situation the update of the ChemStation remote application window does not result in satisfying graphics: - Zoom function of ChemStation does not show the rectangle you would use to define the zoomed are. Zooming is still working well - Letters of peak annotations and axis annotations are incomplete - Chromatogram and baseline might be incomplete and more. This problem does not occur if the ChemStation window was not maximized at the time when the Windows client PC was locked. It it also not reproducible if the Windows task bar is set to "auto-hide" The problem is triggered by re-drawing the Windows task bar after un-hiding it or after un-locking a locked Windows client.
Temporary Solution:
The problem can be prevented by manual adjusting the remote ChemStation window to the screen size, rather than maximizing the window. If the problem occurs, the content of the remote application window can be easily refreshed by minimizing and then maximizing the affected window.

Zooming out of the active window can set the focus to the negative time range
Problem:
Using the zoom out function is supposed to set the view back to the state before the last zoom in. It can happen that a view without a chromatographic signal appears, because the section of the time axis is before the start of the run, in the negative time range. This happens after one or several zoom in steps, when the zoom rectangle is dragged all the way to the right border of the time range. Zooming out (by double clicking or by using the icon) will result in a view with the focus outside of the signal range.

In Sequence Parameters dialog a missing backslash of remote data path needs to be corrected.
Problem:
By OpenLAB ChemStation Edition C.01.04 the requirement for ECM's remote data path (LCDF) became more strict than before. If for editing the Sequence Parameters dialog is opened, and a backslash at the LCDF's begin is missing, the builtin check of this dialog-box will demand a manual correction by the user. This can happen especially once loading a sequence template file from an earlier version of OpenLAB ChemStation Edition. The later release of OpenLAB ChemStation Edition (like e.g. C.01.05) will tolerate and correct the missing leading backslash at ECM's remote datat path (LCDF) in Sequence Parameters dialog automatically. Execution of sequences by OpenLAB ChemStaation Edition is not affected. I.e. sequence templates do NOT have to be corrected, neither for sequence execution nor for sequence reprocessing.
Temporary Solution:
Leaving the opened Sequence Parameters Dialog by OK is interdicted until all parameters are in valid ranges. This now for OpenLAB ChemStation C.01.04 requires the remote data path (LCDF) for ECM to start with a leading backslash. If at some sequence template (e.g. from an earlier version of OpenLab ChemStation Edition) this character was missing, it now has to be inserted. Only then the Sequnece Parameters dialog can be successfully closed and left with OK-button.

Manual integration tool is still accessible after a user change
Problem:
When chromatograms are integrated manually, the mouse cursor is changed into a task-specific tool, like e.g. Draw Baseline or Split Peak. When the current user is changed, this tool is still active and can repeatedly be applied by the new user, even if this new user does not have the privilege to manually integrate. He will not be able to select any of the other manual options, and he loses the active one as soon as the cursor changes. All the manual integration steps will be assigned to the new user in the result audit trail.
Temporary Solution:
After the current user is finished with manual integration he should save the changes and use the select cursor (white arrow) to leave the manual mode. Addressed in Hotfix 04 for ChemStation C.01.05 SP1. Addressed in Hotfix 06 for ChemStation C.01.06.

Exception to "Edit Calibration Table" privileges
Problem:
Certain ChemStation privileges allow for specific exceptions. The "Edit Calibration Table" privilege is not mandatory in order to update the expected retention time values of the calibration table. These values can also be updated by sequence acquisition or processing without the need to access the calibration directly. It allows for adjustments in case of small retention time shifts due to column aging or length adjustment.
Temporary Solution:
The interactive update of retention time window adjustment gets recorded in the method audit trail, if activated. Implement a procedural control to check the method audit trail if an interactive adjustment of the retention time is not wanted.
