MassHunter Acquisition for QQQ rev. B.01.04 Patch 2 fixes the following problems:
-- SCR# 12696 "Only 4 Scan Segments allowed when in MS2Scan Mode." Any acquisition with MS2 in Scan needs to be limited to 4 Scan Segments in MassHunter Acq. B.01.04 per Service Note G6410A-53. So for MS2Scan, Product Ion Scan, and Neutral Loss, the Scan Segments are temporarily limited to 4.
-- SCR# 12717 "Dipping Quad Drivers may return nanKHz Value." Per Service Note G6410A-57 pipping Quad Drivers may return nanKHz Value with Firmware version A.04.99. New Quad Driver dipping algorithm corrects this issue with the included firmware version A.05.107.
-- SCR# 13363 "Positive-Negative Swtiching in Same Time Segment Works for G6410A and G6410A-2k." G6410A and G6410A-2k QQQ LC/MS do not support Positive-Negative Switching in the Same Segment per Service Note G6410A-64.
-- SCR# 14163 "Lens2DC and Lens2RF dynamic ramps can be disabled." Do not save Tune File in MS2 Scan, MS2 SIM, or MS2 Profile in Manual Tune Context from Service Note G6410A-70 is superseded.
-- ALS-SL+ name correction for G1367D as reported in Service Note G6410A-63.
-- Firmware A.04.105 now places the instrument into standby when certain sources are opened. It has been identified that some sources like electrospray (ESI) when opened turn off the voltages, but the instrument stays ready (green icon).
Patch 2 is a cumulative patch that includes all the updates for Patch 1. This includes:
-- Support for the new G1367D 1200 LC series high performance autosampler, ALS-SL+ (minimum LC firmware A.06.12).
-- Support for G3793AA MassHunter Optimizer software version B.01.04 SR-1.
-- Improved QQQ firmware A.04.104 for better positive-negative switching reliability.
Installation instructions are included in Service Note G6410A-73.
