Diablo Analytical has released Version 4.0.17.1 of the EZReporter Software.
This is a minor update with the following enhancements and fixes:
[-] = Bug fix or change in behavior
[+] = Enhancement
[ALL] = Applies to all modules
[NGA] = Natural Gas Analysis/Liquids Modules
[RDB] = Results Database Module
[MOD] = Modbus Module
Significant Fixes and Other Changes:
[-] [ALL] Fixed an issue where if a new configuration file is loaded using the “Load” button in the configuration editor, when you try to save the configuration a warning is displayed that the configuration was changed in the background and the original configuration file is reloaded and overwritten.
Significant Enhancements:
[+] [ALL] The result processing behavior for several connector plugins has been changed. If an error is generated when reading the text file (csv, txt, esd, tx0, etc.) containing the results saved by the chromatography data system, the file is renamed to “.csv.err”, “.txt.err”, etc. so that the file can be examined, but it doesn’t block subsequent processing. For data systems that save a separate text file for each channel, an attempt is made to delete the corresponding text files to prevent processing incomplete results.
In addition, a new menu option has also been added to the instrument context menu of these connector plugins: “View Monitored Folder”, to open the folder that the connector plugin is monitoring for the text files so that you can quickly search for the text files that generated the error.
Connector Plugins Affected: Thermo Chromeleon Connector, Bruker Compass Connector, Shimadzu LabSolutions Connector, Agilent OpenLab CDS Connector, Agilent EZChrom Connector, PE TotalChrom Connector.
A complete list of fixes and enhancements is provided in the release notes.
.NET Framework 4.7.2 Runtime is Required
This version of EZReporter 4.0 requires the Microsoft .NET 4.7.2 Framework runtime to be installed. If the computer has an Internet connection, then the installer will automatically download the runtime if it is needed. If the computer is not connected to the Internet, then you will need to download the runtime file from our web site and copy it to the same folder as the installer before starting the installation. The runtime file is 526 MB in size.
Note: if you are running a relatively recent version of Windows 10 (April 2018 Update – Version 1803 or later) or any version of Windows 11, then your system already has the runtime installed. In addition, another program may have already installed the runtime. So you only need to download the runtime if it isn’t already installed on your computer.
Installing this Release
If you are running version 4.0.4.1 or later, you can download and install the correct version of the software using the “Check for Updates” option of the “Help” menu.
Otherwise, simply download and run the installation program from the download page.
IMPORTANT: Make sure you download the installer that includes support for the chromatography data system you are using.
NOTE: The “web” version of the installer can be used to upgrade an existing installation even if the computer doesn’t have Internet access.
Your current version of EZReporter will be uninstalled and the new version installed automatically. Your license status will be preserved.
