Supported GP-IB-based hardware: 5890, 6890A & Plus GC and 1090 LC.Backwards compatibility for custom macros.
To ensure compatibility with future PCs and their operating systems, the new revision B.01.01 uses 32-bit internal software architecture and also includes the following key improvements:ĭata, method, and sequence file names are no longer limited to eight characters. Designed modularly, the system can be extended and scaled upwards as laboratory needs grow. The ChemStation Plus family is the industry's most widely sold data system, providing instrument control, data acquisition, and data management. Single ChemStation for LC, GC, and LC/MSĪgilent Technologies is pleased to introduce the new Revision B.01.01 ChemStation for LC, GC, and LC/MS.Best-selling ChemStation now even better.New revision ensures future compatibility As long as the instrument and its network card in the chemstation are on separate subnets it works fine.Agilent Newsletter - ChemStation Designed for the Future
We use IP addresses such as 10.1.1.x for the lab and 10.10.10.x for the instruments so they don't cross talk through the computer to the lab network. Instead of having 7 GC/MS, 10 GC and 5 HPLC instruments trying to send data over the same network as everything else in the lab, we have each instrument on its own dedicated switch to the computer that runs it, and those computers have another network card that interfaces with the lab network. We do this to keep the traffic from the instruments off of the lab network. We only had this problem with our ICP/MS units, I have not seen it so far with the GC/MS units.
If it gives the error "The instrument is already in use by another chemstation" then you must go into the advanced tab on the networking screen and move the card with the instrument attached to the top of the list. The other card in the computer is connected to the lab server for uploads to LIMS. The GC and MS are connected to a hub, which is connected to one of the network cards in the computer with MSDChemstation. I was told, to connect the instrument to the network through its hub/switch. I had trouble installing chemstation until I took one card out. Not usually a problem on modern computers but back when we were running 386/486 computers it would take longer to quantify the data from a run than it did to cool the 5890 down from 230C to 35C.īigbear wrote: James how do you get the computer to recognize chemstation? Our IT section provided two computers for our E0202 systems. If it is not dedicated and there is a lot of traffic on the network it could cause slower communications.Īre you running the data analysis as part of the run, or quantifying it by hand after? If you have Data Analysis checked on the start run screen then it will perform the data analysis portion of the method before it steps to the next sample. We always run two cards in the computer, one dedicated to the instrument and another to communicate with the server for uploads to the LIMS. Is the network connection dedicated to the instrument or is it passing through the entire network of the building? We have one NIC card installed, however the data is saved locally on the C:// drive.

For example, on a five minute run, it may take an additional 3-4 minutes for chemstation to finish acquiring data and perform the next sample injection.
