EZReporter 3.0.1.2 Released
Diablo Analytical has released Version 3.0.1.2 (SR1) of the EZReporter Software. This new release addresses the following issues:
- Added the EZ Result Monitor software utility as an alternative to the ProcessEZChromData “After Export” program to transfer results from EZChrom to EZReporter. EZResultMonitor polls the EZChrom export folder every second and processes results automatically when it finds an ESD file. This utility was written for two purposes – 1) to address a defect in the OpenLab version of EZChrom that results in the After Export program not actually being called after acquisition, and 2) to better support multi-instrument installations. Instructions on configuring and using this utility can be found in the EZ Result Monitor reference manual:https://diabloanalytical.com/ezr/files/EZ Result Monitor.pdf
- Enhanced all of the “Connector” programs used to transfer results from the chromatography data systems to process configurations with large component lists much more efficiently.
- Fixed incorrect “Volume Factor” (cu.ft./gal) entries in the TP-17 standard data source for o-Xylene, 1,c2,c3-trmethylcyclohexane, and 1,1,2-trimethylcyclohexane. Also updated the default NGL configuration files to reflect these changes.
Installing this Release
To install this release, simply download and run the installation program linked below. You current version of EZReporter will be uninstalled and the new version installed automatically. Your license status will be preserved.
Important: If you are using a modified version of one of the default configuration files, make sure that you rename the configuration file from the original file name. Whenever you install EZReporter, the default configuration files are reset to their standard settings, so any customizations you have made would be lost.

Upgrading
EZReporter 3.0 is a free upgrade for customers with existing licenses of EZReporter 2.0 or earlier. However, if you upgrade you will need to reactivate the software.
Contact Diablo Analytical if you have any questions about EZReporter 3.0.
EZReporter Customers using the OpenLab version of EZChrom
There appears to be a defect in the OpenLab version of the Agilent EZChrom Chromatography Data System that prevents results from being transferred to EZReporter automatically after acquisition. However, when you reanalyze the data file manually after the run, the results are transferred as expected. The defect prevents the “After Export” program, “ProcessEZChromData.exe”, from being called after acquisition.
To address this issue, we have written a new utility program called “EZ Result Monitor” that eliminates the need for the “After Export” program in the EZChrom method. It is a standalone program that watches the EZChrom export folder for the .ESD text files, and then processes the results contained in those files automatically as they are detected.
We have released a new version of EZReporter that contains this utility. You can download EZReporter 3.0.1.2 at this link:

Instructions on configuring and using this utility can be found in the EZ Result Monitor reference manual:

Please contact Diablo Analytical if you have any questions about configuring or using this new utility.
