Troubleshooting and Diagnostics

User Interfaces

N O T E

Depending on the used interface, the available tests and the screens/reports may vary.

Preferred tool should be the Agilent Diagnostic Software, see

“Agilent Lab Advisor

Software”

on page 122.

Screenshots used within these procedures are based on the Agilent ChemStation.

In future, a user interface may not show the Diagnostics/Tests anymore. Then the Agilent
Diagnostic Software must be used instead.

The Agilent ChemStation may not include any maintenance/test functions.
