Software Status Bulletin


OpenLAB CDS ChemStation Edition     M83xxAA

Known Problem Report as of Sep 25 2023 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 #.

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.

Temporary Solution:

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:

Set the “Inactivity time before locking the application” to zero in OpenLAB Control Panel > administration > security policy;
if this complies to your security policy.
If ChemStation and purification software got locked, you can access the unlock dialog with help of the Windows Task Manager.
Start the task manager, go to the applications screen and select the Purification Software task window,
which is called Task XY - Set Up and Run Purification Tasks. Right-click this application and select "Minimize".
Then select the Agilent OpenLab Login window from the application list of the task manager, right-click and select "Bring to  Front".

KPR#:21  Product:Purification Software  M8368AA  A.01.02

One-line Description:

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.

6890 method does not allow SAVE DATA to be checked

Problem:

It is not possible to save data in a 68xx method.

Temporary Solution:

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.

The peak inflection point position does not match classical ChemStation reporting.

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. 
The effect can be observed for peaks that show only very small changes of the slope over a "longer" time range and the 2nd derivative is close to 0 over that range.

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.

Incorrect lamp type settings for VWDs

Problem:

The G1314A/B/C VWDs allow the use of either VWD or DAD lamps, which can be configured in the module driver. In driver revisions A.02.09 and below the selection of DAD or VWD lamp is reversed.
 
The different lamps use a different lamp ignition process. The DAD filament heating is turned off after ignition while the VWD lamp filament heating is kept on a lower level.
 
 
                       RC.NET LC Driver (<= A.02.09)      CLASSIC driver
 
G1314A/B/C     REVERSED                                 OK

Temporary Solution:

In case of noise and ignition issues please verify the setting. In ChemStation or LabAdvisor, you may use the command line command to check the actual setting in the VWD.
 
ChemStation: print sendmodule$(lvwd,"ltyp?")
LabAdvisor: send ltyp? to VWD module

Following instrument answers are possible:

0 = DAD lamp
1 = VWD lamp

Fix Information:

This issue has been fixed in LC Driver version A.02.10. If the correct setting has been used before (i.e. VWD lamp present and VWD setting has been chosen), the behavior will now be correct and has previously been wrong.

If a wrong setting has been used before (i.e. VWD lamp is present and DAD setting has been chosen) as a workaround, the behavior will then be wrong for A.02.10 and following and needs to be changed.

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

Problem:

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.

Addition of new columns to the column catalog (database) is not possible after upgrade

Problem:

Upgrading from B.01.03 to B.04.02, it is no longer possible to add new columns to the GC column catalog (database) in Rev. B.04.02.

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.) 

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.

Fix Information:

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.

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. In both modes on the MMI, the septum purge does not remain off until the inlet switches back to the purge state.

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.

After editing the GC method and selecting ok - validation error message is displayed.

Problem:

In driver revision 4.01, after editing the GC method and selecting ok, a "Validation Error" error message flashes in the left hand corner of the screen. 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.

Temporary Solution:

Workaround for customers with driver revision 4.01:  replace columns #2 and #3 with a single undefined (e.g., packed) column, suitably described as being a parallel combination. The user can then set either a flow or a pressure setpoint to the new combined column #2.

PCM Inlet Heater Shutdown

Problem:

Download the method to the GC or hit apply and the inlet heater is turned OFF at the GC. If the user closes edit parameters, and then re-opens edit parameters the PCM inlet heater checkbox is disabled.

Temporary Solution:

Create your method, save, and download to the GC (the PCM inlet heater will shutdown). At the GC, set the PCM inlet heater to the desired setting. Upload the method from the GC (Instrument, Upload Method), and save your method as a new method (Save method as …). This method can now be used and loaded successfully in the future.

Problem:

In EZChrom, a blank run can be specified by specifying 0 as the injection volume.  If a blank run is so specified following an ALS non-blank run in a sequence and the sequence is run with overlap enabled, the injector makes a zero-volume injection for that run.

If a sequence is initiated locally at the front panel of the 7890 with the external device being "Not Ready" the sequence will wait for the external device to become ready prior to making the injection and starting the run. (This is the correct behavior.)

Problem:

The content of a loaded method is only partly reflected in the method user interface. I seems that only the visible tab is updates.   
Steps to reproduce:

2.) Change Oven Ramp, Events table or Signals 
3.) Go back to the ALS Tab and save the method 
4.) Create new method or load a different one
5.) Load the method saved in step 3


Verify the content of Oven Ramp, Events table or Signals. It does not display the correct content.

Keyword: ACQ

One-line Description:

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.

Fix Information:

Fixed in C.01.05 and C.01.04 HF04 by introducing a master runtime for all modules.

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.

One-line Description:

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.

Temporary Solution:

With low data rates (and long filter widths) the online plot might be up to 30 seconds ahead of the data collection in the data file. Consider adding this time span before stopping a run.

Data system uses the currently loaded method to validate the vial range in the Sequence table

Problem:

Sequence does not run or will abort if the currently loaded method vial range is different than the vail range of the next method in the sequence table.

Set up two methods:
Method E with injection source set to headspace (valid vials 1-111)
Method A with injection source set to ALS sampler with tray. (valid vials 1-150)

Construct a sequence
Vial      Method
1            A
1            E
130        A
2            E

If method E is the currently loaded active method then this sequence will not validate because the first method in the sequence (method A) has a vial range that is valid for an ALS.  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. When the datasystem attempts to move to the 3rd line it validates the vial against E with a headspace injectorID and fails, aborting the sequence.

One-line Description:

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.

Duplicate or corrupted files or unresponsive software after stop/abort

Problem:

An inconsistency in the communication between instrument and software has been found during sequence runs. 
The defect is triggered in situations when external interaction occurs at state transitions.
External interaction can mean: Stopping or  aborting a run by user interaction, hardware error (Power fail, leak, communication loss), missing vial, barcode mismatch, etc.
State transition can mean: at the time of injection, between runs, in situations that should be covered by rules and alerts, etc.
As a result of such a conflict the same file (acaml file, method folder, logbook...) can be accessed by two instances, leading to a corrupted file or to unresponsive software.

Order of data points in instrument signals is inverted

Problem:

On systems under heavy load, it can occur that the data points coming from the instrument are not sorted in the chronological order. 
This occurs typically with the instrument traces. In that case, the data points are sorted correctly on screen, but the line that connects the points appears to loop backwards.
There is one known case where the issue occurred on the detector signal. In that case the connecting line was straight forward, but the order of data points was not correct. The issue might be more frequent, since a wrong order of data points will not be obvious outside of a peak.

Problem:

Using the Sequence Parameter " wait x minutes after loading a new method" has been applied to every run within a sequence (e.g. multiple injections within a sequence line using the same method). This added extra time to the execution of a sequence.

Temporary Solution:

None

Fix Information:

The issue has been fixed with OpenLAB ChemStation Edition C.01.07 SR3. The wait time behavior has been corrected to be executed the same way as for other techniques. The wait time in applied once when a different method is loaded.
In case that users made an advantage of the additional time added between each run (e.g. additional equilibration), either the methods post time (applied after a run is finished) or a preconditioning step (wait xx seconds) as a post run command can be used to apply the additional equilibration time.

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.

The issue is not impairing correct function or firmware installation on G7104C. It is a documentation-only issue and will be fixed in a later release of the LC&CE Drivers.

Temporary Solution:

Should you require evidence for the correct firmware revision of G7104C for documentation purposes in the meantime, please consider adding a copy or reference for this bulletin entry to your documentation.

Problem:

When method audit trail is activated the changes made in data analysis are listed in full detail. This is usefull to correlate result versions with method versions.
For a master method it is enough to have the current status at the time of acquisition. 
When the Data Analysis parameters are changed, the full audit trail is stored with the sequence method. When the master method is updated from Data Analysis, the audit trail of the master method contains only a link to the sequence method.
With a certain combination of privileges, a user can update the master method, but discard the changes to the sequence method.

Keyword: Audit Trail

One-line Description:

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.

Temporary Solution:

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.

Fix Information:

With revision C.01.07 SR2, the audit trial will keep track of the number of sequence lines so the net changes can be interpreted easier.

Sequence audit trail reports outdated sequence line number

Problem:

The design of the sequence audit trail introduced with OpenLAB CDS C.01.07 traces all committed changes to the sequence table while the sequence is acquiring data or when data gets reprocessed.
The changes are traced when the sequence table gets closed and the net changes are written to the 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.
This may lead to artefacts where e.g. the original line #x is reported as being deleted, while other entries refer to line #x as being added and modified.

Temporary Solution:

N/A

Begining with revision C.01.07 SR2, the audit trial contains additional information about how many lines have been added, deleted or moved in total. These entries are grouped together for increased readability.

Problem:

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.  
After all, quantification based on extracted signals need to evaluated very carefully due to the reduced signal/noise ratio and its impact on quantification precision.

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.

When calculating the standard deviation or relative standard deviation of multiple identical numbers, the calculation may return "NaN" rather than 0.

The problem is caused by the small delta derived from the rounded result of the average calculation and the individual values. Summing up these small numbers may result in a floating point exception.

Temporary Solution:

Do not apply standard deviation calculations to series of identical  values.

There is currently no fix planned.

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.

Temporary Solution:

n/a

Fix Information:

If your methods rely on valve positions, please verify that they are using correct connections. When transferring methods between different module categories (e.g. G1316C vs. G7116B), please either change your method parameters or corresponding connections to ports.

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.

This has been fixed with driver version A.02.16.

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.

One-line Description:

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.

Garbage characters can appear in English LCMS reports

Problem:

Some sample parameters from LCMS data files (like e.g. Operator Name) are not printed properly. Instead unreadable text appears, like a mix of Chinese and Japanese characters. Those parameters are incorrectly extracted from the data.ms files. 
If the data file also contains DAD traces, the sample parameters are taken from there.

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.

One-line Description:

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

Problem:

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.

The following error was observed:  DynaZip UnZIP Error: Error creating output file.

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.

Runs in a sequence with bracketing can be accessed too early

Problem:

While a sequence is still acquiring, the runs in progress are not yet accessible in data analysis view. The lock on the active run is lifted, when data analysis is finished. 
This is not true for runs in sequences with bracketing. Samples inside a calibration bracket can be loaded and e.g. manually integrated, before they are ready for processing. There is no mechanism in place to react on the delayed analysis that is used with bracketing.

Temporary Solution:

No change planned. Activating Results Audit Trail will create a record of the manual integration.

Fix Information:

No change planned.

Files names  containing special characters are scrambled after downloading SSIZIP from Data Store / ECM

Problem:

File names containing special characters are internaly renamed during creatiion of the SSIZIP archive. Examples are ü, ß, ñ, æ from the character set of certain languages.
A method with such a name can be created, saved, used in acquisitions and in sequence reprocessing without problems. A result set containing the method will upload to the back end storage correctly.
After a download it shows that the exotic characters in the file name have been replaced by another character form extended ASCII set.

Temporary Solution:

Use file names containing only characters from  the 26 standard character set

Notification for data not uploaded to database backend not clear

Problem:

Result sets and single runs get marked with a green icon once the upload to the database backend has been triggered. When the connection to the database backend is lost or broken, the user is notified that single runs and sequences are waiting in the upload queue by a small lightning bolt in right hand corner.  Users easily missed this notification that there are runs waiting in the queue.   Users would assume the transfer occurred because they see the green icon.

Problem:

The runtime of a G4218A ELSD cannot be changed explicitly during a run. However there are software mechanisms which implicitly change a run time, e.g. the function "ignore missing vessel" of an autosampler normally stops the run after some seconds if no vessel is present.

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.
