How do I view legacy methods created in ICS 2.6/HCO 3.0 after upgrading to Agilent ICF 3.0 or Higher - WKB62990

ENVIRONMENT

• Empower 3 All versions
• Agilent ICF 3.0 and above drivers.

ANSWER

The required legacy drivers (ICS 2.6/HCO 3.0) Need to be installed in the Empower system to view the methods.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

The following is an excerpt from the ICF 3.7 release notes regarding this:

ICF Support Layer 3.7 provides support for the Agilent ICF modules in ICF version 3.2 Update 1 (3.2.64) with SVTSoftware verification tool (B.01.01), LC Drivers 3.5 (3.5.81.0), GC Drivers (3.7.189), and Headspace Control (3.3.167). Drivers are separate from and compatible with previous instrument control using legacy ICS instrument drivers such as A1100 LC (v1.06), 7890 GC (v2.6), 6850 GC (v1.40), G1888A, and HS7697 headspace samplers (HCO v3.0), and with legacy Empower control for the 6890 GC. Installed legacy instrument control continues to operate with the systems for which it is specified. To allow access to legacy instrument methods, keep the legacy drivers installed on your Empower system. For more information on driver compatibility, refer to the Agilent release notes.
