Openlab chemstation crashes

I'm using an Openlab chemstation for a gas chromatographer 8860.

I recently added and removed some acquisition methods, but now the program crashes when opening the sample information window to execute a single analysis.

The program works properly when reprocessing or when using a sequence.

I'm pretty sure i didn't remove any default methods, but since this happened after making changes in the folder, I'm sure it has something to do with it.

Thanks.

  • Hello,

    It looks like it is possible to assign an error method in the sample info dialog. If you delete the error method, you had assigned last, that seems to cause Chemstation to crash when accessing sample info. Try deleting the insturment.config file for that specific instrument. This file can be in different locations depending on the CS version in later versions it will be in C:\ProgramData\Agilent Technologies\ChemStation\x where x is the instrument number. Earlier versions had it in the C:\Chem32 folder path. Close the instrument before deleting the file, the file will be recreated the next time you open the instrument
