Coates - COAT-05 Upgrade OS from XP to Win 7, 575 ST Olin

Oliver

Anne to send us spec's instrument company recommends.

To get account number by time out quote approved by group.

AS-CHM-COAT-05

Anne calls the instrument "PL-220", and Agilent calls it GPC220.

12/20/17, Anne writes, after hearing back from Agilent:

Sounds like the software isn’t compatible with Windows 10.  Could we do Windows 7 on that computer?

=========================

Agilent states: Cirrus is not compatible with Windows 10 and is no longer being updated, so a rollback to Win7 is the simple solution. We do offer Agilent GPC /SEC software that is compatible if you do become interested. This software would replace Cirrus for data collection and analysis but would not control the GPC220.

Lowest priorityINC000002130985Coates - Upgrade COAT-08 WinXP HPLC to Win10 (or Win7), 572A ST OlinOliver

1) S/W info from Anne. (requested 12/20/17)

2) Confirm jack activation from CIT. (requested activation around 12/20/17)

AS-CHM-COAT-08

Anne reports that Collum group told by Agilent that their instrument could not be upgraded even to Windows 7. Anne will contact Agilent about her instrument specifically, but not looking promising.

  • Whichever OS Agilent requires, clarify if 64-bit version is OK (usually OK if application is 32-bit, FWIW). Or if OS must be 32-bit (either Win 7 or Win 10).

Software Anne is looking to get contemporary (Win10?!) version: Agilent (HP-branded h/w) GC ChemStation. (Similar to what the Collum group uses. apparently)

Now: Rev 8.04.01 SP1 (~2009)

Equipment: G1530A

Had been upgraded from Win95/NT to WinXP (~8 years ago?).

Also: Obtain recommended "specs" for computer since likely buying new (after we confirm via testing using old loaners from Chemistry IT!). Expecting just a "basic" computer, but good to confirm this for support reasons
