How to interpret the Status of Injections and Channels in Empower 3 SR3 - WKB59402

Article number: 59402

OBJECTIVE or GOAL

Functionality was added in Empower 3 FR4 SR3 to flag potential problems with chromatographic data in the Project Window. Previously, potential problems were flagged only with a single message when the data was brought into Review. In E3 FR4 SR3 and higher versions, this information is displayed in the Injection Status and Channel Status fields. This information is searchable using view filters, allowing users to quickly see data that may require action or investigation.

ENVIRONMENT

  • Empower 3 FR4 SR3

PROCEDURE

SR3 status.JPG

  1. All injections start as incomplete, with a channel status of No Data File Created.
    • Injection status normal progression - Incomplete > Complete
    • Channel status normal progression - No data file created > Data being acquired > Acquisition Finished
  2. Clarification of messages on plot - Data Mismatch, Bad Checksum, Data Incomplete, Data File not found, Project directory not found, Problem reading data file.
    • Messages on the plot are in addition to the injection and channel statuses because something happened after acquisition completed.
  3. Must utilize INJECTION STATUS + CHANNEL STATUS + PROCESSING CODES to understand the complete picture.
  4. Verification of this type of data in review (to allow it to be used and processed) is controlled by a privilege.

 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

These statuses do not refer to new error types or previously unseen issues. The process is flagging them earlier only to allow users to take action and investigate. Previously, the same errors were highlighted only when the data was brought into the Review application.
