  • How to Check, Configure and Use the IP Address of an Agilent HPLC Module

    This Information Applies To: All Agilent (U)HPLC modules. Issue: This article describes the general procedure of how to check the IP address of an High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) module and how to modify it using Telnet. Agilent HPLC modules can be configured to use either a default IP address (192.168.254.11) that cannot be changed (static), or a stored IP address that can be defined by the user. The position of the configuration switches that are on the back of an LC module...

  • Performing a Delay Calibration of Fraction Collector with a UV Detector via Lab Advisor

    This Information Applies To: Agilent Analytical Fraction Collector G1364C/F and G5664A/B Issue The delay calibration determines the delay time between the detector and fraction collector in the system. The delay is used to compensate the time a compound needs to travel between the point of detection in the detector and the point of collection in the fraction collector ( Figure 1) . This time difference allows the calculation of the delay volume. Figure 1 . Scheme explaining Delay Volume Calibration...

  • Troubleshooting a 1290 Infinity or 1290 Infinity II with a Dry Pump Module

    This Information Applies To: Agilent 1290 Infinity and 1290 Infinity II LC Pumps. Issue Solvent bottle runs dry. As the result, the pump has continued to run dry or solvent lines are filled with air. The difference between purge, condition, and prime functions and when to use them are explained. Caution : Running a pump dry can damage the pistons and wear out the piston seals prematurely. Avoid this issue by stopping the pump flow when out of solvent. See How to Stop Pump Flow...

  • How to Free up Licenses After License Check Message on Agilent Lab Advisor Software

    This Information Applies To: Agilent Lab Advisor Software Issue: When connecting your LC instrument with the Agilent Lab Advisor Software, a pop-up message may appear called 'License Check'. The message prevents you from connecting the Lab Advisor software to the LC. The message can be as following ( Figure 1 ): 11 modules configured, but only licenses for 10 available 22 modules configured, but only licenses for 20 available 23 modules configured, but only licenses for 20 available...

  • Determining which Module is Causing the Shutdown Error Due to a Leak

    This Information Applies To: Agilent LC Systems Issue Agilent modules will go into an error status (red status light) when an error condition specific to that module occurs. For example, metering home failed will be specific for the autosampler, a lamp ignition failure will be specific for a detector, or a pump stroke will be specific for the pump. In those cases, only the module with the error will go into an error status. However, there are some conditions that will put all the modules into...

Creating a System Report PDF with Agilent Lab Advisor

Answer

This Information Applies To: Agilent Lab Advisor Software for any Agilent LC System.

Issue:

To successfully troubleshoot an Agilent LC system or module, the System Report is an essential resource. Agilent Support representatives may ask you to provide them with this information.

The report contains detailed summary information of your system configuration, modules, error messages and logs, firmware versions, LAN settings, and past test results. This article shows you how to create it and what to be aware of.

Steps to follow:

  1. Go to your Lab Advisor Software and connect to your instrument (see How to add a new system in Lab Advisor and How to Install Lab Advisor).
  2. On the left side navigation bar, under My Instrument (as per Figure 1; this is the name of your instrument), click System Report.
  3. Enter your contact information (optional) and, if necessary, comment on any issue or for later reference.
  4. Make sure that the check boxes for Include PC information in the General tab and for Include instrument actuals in the My Instrument tab are selected.
  5. Important: In the General tab, under Included Information, typically select Include last 10 tests of module and last 50 log entries if not asked differently. If you want to be on the safe side, select Include all data.
  6. In the bottom right, click Create Report.
  7. On the preview that appears in the top menu, click the Save Icon   to export the Report as a PDF file, adjusting the documents name if necessary.
  8. If asked, send the file to your local Agilent Support representative.

The following animation will guide you through the instructions on how to generate the report and include all necessary information (Figure 1):
