Installing the Agilent Lab Advisor Software

For details of installation procedures for the Agilent Lab Advisor software,

refer to the software documentation on the Lab Advisor DVD.

Agilent Lab Advisor replaces and extends upon the diagnostic functions that

were formerly only in the ChemStation software.

Agilent Lab Advisor is a Windows®-based application that continuously

monitors instruments in the lab in real time and increases productivity

through automatic notification of maintenance and service needs with the use

of advanced counters. This allows a problem to be fixed before it impacts

results. The software includes an extensive suite of user information and

documentation, a set of calculators and tools to help set up, calibrate, and

maintain your instrument, and tests and diagnostic routines to verify proper

performance. Agilent Lab Advisor also provides feedback and solutions for

any instrument errors that may arise. The software will work with or without

Agilent data systems.

The software monitors:

• LC module status

• Early Maintenance Feedback (to determine the need for upgrade or

replacement)

In addition, the software:

• Automates useful tests,

• Attempts to identify supported LAN-based instruments that are powered

on and connected to your PC or lab’s network,

• Automatically suggests replacements parts and troubleshooting tasks for

some common instrument problems.
