Is the Shimadzu acquistion log captured in the Empower message center? - WKB235821

ENVIRONMENT

• Empower
• Shimadzu
• GC Driver 3.21

ANSWER

Yes, the acquisition log, including acquisition start and end, is captured .

However, Waters is not involved with the development of the Shimadzu driver. The capture is controlled by the driver, and Waters is not aware of a way to alter or turn this off.

  •  The operation log on the control panel and the analysis execution log are now recorded in the message center.
