This Revision ------------- This revision is a MAJOR software revision and may require you to revalidate your installation. The changes described in this document are relative to version A.03.04 of the HP ChemStations. Operating System ---------------- The software runs on MS-DOS Rev. 5.xx and 6.xx and Microsoft Windows version 3.1/Microsoft Windows for Workgroups version 3.11 or Windows 95. PC Hardware Requirements ------------------------ Minimum processor is a 486/50 DX (Pentium recommended). Memory requirements are... 16 MB for a single instrument 2D ChemStation +4 MB for every additional instrument +4 MB to add spectral evaluation +4 MB to take advantage of the Graphical User-Interface ________________________________________________________________________ New Features ------------ - Support of the HP 1100 Series of Liquid Chromatographs - Graphical User Interface for the HP 1100 - Toolbars - Integrated Tutorial - HP Installation Verification Utility - New Calibration User-Interface - Sequencing Enhancements - Support of Control Samples - Additional enhanced integration algorithm - Operational Qualification/Peformance Verification for HP 1100 - Diagnostics for HP 1100 Series Defect Fixes ------------ Defects are tracked in Hewlett-Packard's Software Tracking and Reporting System (STARS). Each report has a unique number. For more details, refer to the Software Status Bulletin contained on the Supplemental Disk of the HP ChemStation. The following defects have been corrected in version A.04.01 of the HP ChemStation: ________________________________________________________________________ SR # B400104406 LC/GC/CE CHEMSTATION G2070AA 03.03 Error recovery on the 7673/G1512 is difficult and inconsistent.
