Article number: 29933

SYMPTOMS

Mass spectrometer does not appear in MS Console during standalone install.

ENVIRONMENT

  • Xevo TQ-XS
  • Xevo TQ-S
  • Synapt XS
  • Xevo G2-XS
  • Xevo G3 QTof
  • Any MS standalone

CAUSE

You need to install Instrument Control Software (ICS) even though it is a standalone MS install.

FIX or WORKAROUND

  1. Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Micromass Utilities\ICOP and run the Setup to install ICSs.
  2. Restart the host PC.

Note: The MassLynx 4.2 Installation and Configuration Guide recommends you use "typical Install" when loading ICS driver packs as this ensures the Stand-alone Console is installed and the drivers are loaded in the tested order and configuration.
