Software Status Bulletin
Lab Advisor G4600AA
Known Problem Report as of Nov 19 2009 9:16AM
Preface
-------------------------
This Software Status Bulletin (SSB) documents all known problems in the software
product designated above. The SSB is derived from Known Problem Reports (KPR)
which result from user problems that have been classified as documentation
problems or software defects. When a KPR is written, an identifying number is
assigned to it, and the KPR is added to the next edition of the SSB.
User inputs that have been classified as Enhancement Requests are not documented
in the SSB. User problems that have been submitted, but that have not been
classified by the time the SSB is generated are not included in the SSB.
How to use the SSB
-------------------------
When you experience a problem with a product, first check this SSB to see if the
problem has been reported already, and if there is a temporary workaround
available for the problem, or if the problem has already been fixed by a new
revision. If the problem is not listed in this SSB then you may wish to report
it to the Response Center or to your field support representative.
To determine if your problem is documented in this SSB, first look in the
"Keyword Index" section of the SSB. Under each keyword is a listing of one-line
descriptions of related KPRs. If any of these sound like yours, locate the KPR
# in the "Known Problem Reports" section of the SSB, and read the full KPR. The
KPRs in the "Known Problem Reports" section are sorted by KPR #.
There are two sections in the SSB:
Keyword Index: This index is categorized by keyword. For each KPR there is a
brief description and a KPR #. A KPR may be associated with more than one
keyword.
Known Problem Reports: This section contains KPRs, with all the available
information relevant to the problem. KPRs in this section are sorted by KPR #.

One-line Description:
S/SL Pressure Decay test will not change inlet to Split - test will fail
Problem:
S/SL Pressure Decay test
The inlet must be set to SPLIT or the test will fail.
Executing the test will not change the inlet from Splitless to Split. The way the test is set up, it will fail if the inlet is Splitless.
When the GC inlet is splitless, Septum purge remains on and the GC will never ready after the inlet is capped off.

Changing PC's IP address prevents manual connection
Problem:
A PC and an instrument are taken off the site lan and connected via a crossover cable (trivial LAN). The PCs IP adress is changed from 130.30.x.y to 10.1.1.100 and the instrument's IP adress is changed from 130.3.a.b to 10.1.1.101. Then the user attempts to manually connect the instrument at the new address, but connection never occurs.

KPR#: 3752 Product: Lab Advisor
G4600AA B.01.01
Keyword: n/a
One-line Description:
Current Advisories are not updating Time from warning to limit threshold
Problem:
Set 7890 EMF's to trigger a warning, then a limit.
As the warning is logged, it also adds to the Current advisories table.
When the same resource crosses its limit, that item is logged and the item overwrites the previous item in the advisory table, changing its type icon; however, the time does not update, remaining the same as the warning threshold.
Temporary Solution:
Manually edit log file if desired, there is no other workaround

One-line Description:
Upgrade installation to add GC package is impossible
Problem:
Under Vista a later upgrade of Lab Advisor to also conatin the GC package fails due to Microsft's security police.
Temporary Solution:
On Vista avoid upgrading partial Lab Advisor or LC HW User Information & Utilities to also contain GC package. Instead remove partial product's installation first. Then freshly install software with all required packages (e.g. LC plus GC package).
