G1979A Multi-Signal Output Accessory
Revision - A.01.01, 23 April 2004

Please read this information carefully. It supersedes
the printed material you received with your software.

This software is intended to be used with ChemStation
A.09.03 or greater.

--------------------------------------------------------

Running G1979A Multi-Signal Output Accessory
--------------------------------------------
- The cycle time for collecting MS signals must be limited
  to less than 2.5 seconds for methods used with the G1979A
  accessory.  Keeping the peak width setting to less than
  0.2 minutes will accomplish this under most conditions.
  For peaks that are wider this will result in oversampling
  the peak, which will not reduce the quality of the data.

- A Bootp server must be configured and running before starting
  the G1979A.  If a Bootp server is not available the G1979A may
  get an invalid IP address from a DHCP server.  The G1979A will
  then have to be restarted after the Bootp server is running.

- When the SIM ions are changed in the Set Up MSD Signals the
  G1979A settings are not automatically updated.  You should
  always check the G1979A settings after changing the MSD
  Signal settings.  Mass Based Fraction Collection and Signal
  Details should also be checked any time the SIM ions are
  changed.

- While a G1979A diagnostic test is running you should not
  edit a method or start running a method.  Let the diagnostic
  test finish or use the stop button in the progress display to
  stop the test run first.  Failing to do this will lead to
  communication problems with the G1979A.

- Errors in communication with G1979A require restarting
  ChemStation to recover, or you can issue the following
  two commands on the command line and then reload the method.
  
  SIDEBox_Close
  SIDEBox_Init


Installing G1979A Multi-Signal Output Accessory
--------------------------------------------
- For full installation instructions see the 'Agilent
  G1979A Multi-Signal Output Accessory User's Guide'.

- Internet Explorer 5.5 or greater is required.

- If you are using ChemStation A.09.03 you will have to
  update the firmware for the mass spectrometer.  You will
  be prompted to do this at the end of the installation.
  These will show up as changed file if the Installation
  Verification tool is run.
