The following is the list of known issues and limitations that users may encounter using the SS420x driver version 1.2 with OpenLab CDS. These items are known at the time of publication of this guide.
If an instrument starts offline due to a configuration conflict with another running instrument it signals a conflict as expected. After closing the acquisition window, the control panel window shows Not connected as current connection state although the connection is still open. It must be closed prior to instrument configuration.
The Online plot is not available when the SS420x Interface is in a Waiting for trigger state. This limitation applies when the SS420x Interface is able to send a monitor signal while in this specific preparation state as per the product design of the SS420x module itself.
It has been observed that occasionally the SS420x Interface itself may not display blinking channel status lights during pre-run or run mode. Please ignore this status. The OpenLab CDS Instrument Status window does show the SS420x correctly and should be referred to obtain the current/correct status of the Interface module.
