minutes to complete depending on system configuration. The user restore directory is NOT
saved to the Recovery drive.
To restore the system from an unrecoverable lockup or after replacing the Single Board
Computer, install the USB flash drive and apply power to the system. The SBC formats the
flash memory and copies all of the files from the USB flash drive to the system’s flash
memory. Wait for the “Upgrade Complete” message to appear. Select the USB Eject icon and
wait for the “Eject Complete” message to appear. Remove the USB drive and cycle power to
reboot.
STREAM FILE: Selecting the Stream Operation icon copies all stored chromatogram files on
the system to the flash drive inserted in the SBC board. Copying the data files will take
several minutes. Wait for the “Operation Complete” message to appear. Select the USB Eject
icon, wait for the “Eject Complete” message to appear, and then remove the USB flash drive.
Selecting the Delete icon deletes all saved chromatograms and report files on the system. It
does not delete analyses saved in the Analysis Config folder or Analysis Library folder.
DIAGNOSTICS: Selecting the Diagnostic Operation icon will copy all diagnostic files to a USB
drive inserted in the SBC board. Diagnostic files are used to diagnose errors and events in
software. These files are for factory use and troubleshooting purposes. Copying the files
should take only a few minutes. Wait for the “Operation Complete” message to appear. Select
the USB Eject icon, wait for the “Eject Complete” message to appear, and then remove the
USB flash drive.
EJECT: Selecting the Eject SD Card icon allows you to safely eject the SD Card from the Single
Board Computer PCB. Wait for the “Eject Complete” message before removing the SD Card.
Report storage will automatically revert to RAM disk. When an SD Card is replaced in the SBC,
report storage will automatically return to the SD Card.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When an SD Card is inserted, the reports stored on the RAM drive will not be
copied to the SD card. These reports are no longer available in the system.
Selecting the USB Action icon performs the functions listed above. Always wait for the “Eject
Complete” message before removing a USB drive.

4.6.4 Components
Select Components in the Function Select list to display component information (see Figure 4-27).
Components can be added, deleted or edited.
Figure 4-27: Setup>Components Configuration Display
To edit a component:
1. Navigate to the Setup tab and select Components in the Function Select List.
2. Select the Config subtab at the bottom of the display.
3. Select the Component to edit from the Component Name drop-down list.
4. Edit the component as necessary.
COMPONENT NAME: Component names must be unique to all configured components in the
analyzer and are selectable from the drop-down menu.
CONCENTRATIONS
• CALIBRATION: Numeric value representing the component's calibration concentration
• VALIDATION: Numeric value representing the component’s validation concentration
• UNITS: Unit of measure (%, ppm, ppb, calc, blank, none)
• RESPONSE FACTOR: Response factor relative to the selected component (may be entered
manually)
• PENDING RESPONSE FACTOR: Calibration stream calculation. Use the Go Back button to
manually replace the current Response Factor with the calculated factor.
CALIBRATION AUTO UPDATE: If the box is checked, the Pending Response Factor
automatically updates with the pending response factor if it is within the drift limits entered.
CALIBRATION DRIFT LIMIT: The maximum amount the calibration can drift since the last
calibration. The Response Factor will not update if the pending response factor exceeds the
drift limit.
VALIDATION LIMIT: Allowable percent of component concentration change while running a
validation.
RETENTION TIME LIMIT: Time into analysis (in seconds)
• LOW: Low level limit, in seconds, that the peak crest can shift
