Readiness Tab in MassHunter Edit Method screen missing

What model and serial number of the 6890?

it is a 6890A, s/n US00035975.  MassHunter version 10.1.49

Thank you

The 6890A and 6890 Plus cannot communicate with MassHunter. The only 6890 that will is a 6890N.

This is very unfortunate.  Is there a reason that it was still able to run the method through the aquisition station even though it did not wait for the ready signal?

The 6890A and 6890 Plus was not tested or supported. We would suggest you give a call to your local Agilent Software Support Center.

(I am working with cfarman on this issue.)

ron_tackett: Thank you for your helpful responses on this question.  Does Agilent offer any sort of networking upgrade/retrofit to allow the older 6890A/6890+ GCs to interface with MassHunter for acquisition?  (The 6890A in question here currently has an HP JetDirect 400N/J4100A card installed.)

If not, do you know the most recent series/version number of the ChemStation acquisition software that still supported communication with the 6890A GC?  Is that version compatible with Windows 10, or is only Windows 7 supported?

Thanks again for your help.

The last revision of MassSpec software that supported the 6890A and 6890 Plus was G1701EA E.02.02 and the latest version of Windows it is supported on in Win7 Pro 64 bit. The issue with these 2 GC model numbers is there is not way to update the firmware on them that is supported by MassHunter Acquisition software.

Thanks, this is useful information.  I appreciate all the helpful responses.
