Release Notes

• Fixed the issue with handling the missing vial error during sample acquisition.
• Improved ability to recover from autosampler errors via the Reset Errors and Abort
buttons.
• Introduced the Eksigent Method Merger tool that allows the users to embed Eksigent
device methods into Analyst software acquisition methods. For more information
refer to the Eksigent® Method Merger User Guide available through the Eksigent
software program group in the Windows start menu.

Other Improvements
• Addressed the issue with the intermittent overpressure error.
• Addressed the issue with intermittent method duration overrun.
• Addressed the issue with direct control installation/configuration under Xcalibur 2.1.
• Addressed the issue with occasional detector driver crash on expressLC systems.
• Improved contour plotting performance for spectrometer systems (reduced CPU
overhead).
• The Pump Interlock Enabled option is now user-selectable from the service menu.
• Improved NACK0 error handling for AS1/AS2.
• Improved ability to reset/initialize the AS1/AS2 driver on system errors.
• Added additional standard Ekspot methods.

Installation Notes
• The software must be installed by a user with administrative privileges on the target
system.
• If a target system is being upgraded from a previous version of Eksigent control
software, install the software over the existing version to make sure that all previous
instrument calibration settings are preserved. Uninstalling the software and deleting
all relevant existing files from your hard drive prior to installing the new software may
result in the loss of previous hardware calibration settings and will require new
instrument configuration and calibration.
• If the Eksigent NanoLC 3.10 Fix for AAO Driver Synchronization Issue patch was
previously installed on the target system, it will be automatically removed during the
installation of this release.
• In some cases, it is desirable to upgrade the instrument firmware within a particular
hardware device. Certain instruments can be upgraded directly from the desktop PC
using the Firmware Update utility from the Eksigent program group. The relevant
firmware hex files can be found in the installation directory. Consult AB SCIEX
technical support before upgrading instrument firmware.

Notes to the Users of ExpressLC Ultra System


• A computer system for running Eksigent control software v 3.11.0 with ExpressLC
Ultra system shall at minimum have a dual-core CPU 2.60 GHz and 3 GB of RAM.
