Hello!
Hoping that everyone is very well, I wanted to know if they can help me, from one day to the next the software stopped responding and asked me in the first instance for a user and password. Letting the software in and just letting a single sample…
What was the EM Voltage before the source cleaning and filament replacement? How old is the electron multiplier? They do not typically fail, the tune EMV setting slowly gets higher and higher. They typically work fine up to ~2500V or so and then the gain…

Hello! I realize this is an old post but wanted to provide more details in case other users encounter the "Make directory failed" error in the future.
This is captured in Software Status Bulletins (SSB's) in a few places.
The solution, if you encounter…
Good Morning, Just setup a 7890B GC with Empower 3 for the CDS Built an instrument method to use both the front and back injection ports. I have a 6890N with front and back FID that we run a lot of samples on so this isn't a new method development. +…
Yes, the peaks are changed at every time in response, and may be a little shifted in retention time, but Ii tried to make autotune , but it failed , so Any suggestions
Hi emilymorin ,
I'm glad you found a solution that works for your data sets. I have continued to investigate this issue, but your solution does not work for all of the data sets I have tested with. I suspect disabling the save file feature may work…
Hello, I am having troubles with the MS40+ pump I use for my ICP-MS machine. I did an oil change yesterday and cleaned out the inside as well as the filters (the oil was pretty low since I had forgotten to check it for a while) and now when I go to turn…

Hello
I recommend to replace X-belt.
P/N 5410047500 Belt timing – 880 mm
When initializing if the belt tension is not enough, It could be failed.
Please check it.
