EZReporter 3.0.1.2 Released

February 8, 2013 By Diablo Analytical

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.

EZReporter Customers using the OpenLab version of EZChrom

February 4, 2013 By Diablo Analytical

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.

2013 Natural History Calendar

December 14, 2012 By Diablo Analytical

It has become a tradition at Diablo Analytical to create a special calendar each year for the customers, vendors, business partners, and friends who have helped contribute to our success. Rather than simply having our logo printed on a “stock” calendar, we instead create a unique calendar composed of images that Founding Principal, Scott Hein, personally captured during the past year (you can see more of Scott’s images at photos.heinphoto.com).

The 2013 Natural History Calendar is at the printer now and will be available soon. In addition to the usual photos of the the landscapes, plants, and animals around Mount Diablo, the 2013 edition also covers Yosemite National Park and the Sierra Nevada Mountains in the Winter, Summer, and Fall.

We have a limited number of our Natural History Calendars available by request for customers in North America. Please enter your shipping address below, and we will send you a calendar as long as they are available.

EZReporter 3.0.0.4 Service Release 1

October 24, 2012 By Diablo Analytical

Diablo Analytical has released Version 3.0.0.4 of the EZReporter Software. This Service Release addresses 2 minor issues:

Addressed a change in the format of the Acquisition Time text result produced by the OpenLab version of EZChrom in which a GMT offset is appended to the standard date text. This causes problems with formatting of date results, date-based queries of the Results Database, etc. The EZChrom Connector now checks for the presence of the GMT offset text in the Acquisition Time field and strips it from the result if it is found.
Fixed a problem with the printed parameter report where if the low alarm status was “Pass” it would overwrite the “Fail” status string of the high alarm.
