    clipboard_eba6fe3e663df18f0a52843f23bd501d1.png
  • Happens with newly written and saved method on reopening
  • Pressing yes changes the values, but the system does not save the changes
  • Error can happen when changing a value in the method that should not affect the cycle time (e.g., changing a Function time window but not so much that it overlaps other functions)
  • MassLynx 4.2 SCN 1007

ENVIRONMENT

  • MassLynx
  • Xevo TQ-XS

CAUSE

Software bug

FIX or WORKAROUND

Fixed in SCN 1035 and subsequent software

Workaround: Change the function times slightly until the error does not occur.
