"Could not open channel RD" error message in Lab Advisor

Created by Sarah Scheirs Sarah Scheirs over 1 year ago | Last modified by Carlos Vargas Carlos Vargas over 1 year ago

This Information Applies To: All Agilent liquid chromatography instruments, Lab Advisor


Issue:

The error message 'Could not open channel RD' pops up when performing diagnostic tests in Lab Advisor. Retrying the test is not helping.


Resolution: 

This message appears when another controller is still connected to the module. This could be a data system like OpenLab CDS 2.X, OpenLab CDS ChemStation, OpenLab CDS EZChrom, Empower, or another diagnostic software currently running.

Close the application that is running and try to rerun the tests.

If it is certain that no other software is still connected (be aware that sometimes they run in the background), restart both the PC and the instrument.

After restarting, connect first with Lab Advisor and retry the tests before starting the data system.
