Hello MLGonzalez ,
In place upgrading for quant was only supported starting at Version 12.0. If you have any versions prior to that you must first uninstall quant before attempting to install a different version. If this was Quant 11.0 for TOF/QTOF…
Weird situation.
My 7890A stopped communication with Chemstation B.04.03 SP2 [106] Windows 7. I am getting a module not found error. I was running fine then just stopped after a reboot.
I moved the instrument to an XP laptop running B.04.03 [16…
Hi Evans! I would like to know if you ever figured out what could have caused the error with the oxygen sensor? We just had the same issue in our labs, and have got a new sensor. We are however hesitant to use the instrument again before we we have an…
