Warning 103–Sig 1 buffer full
Warning 104–Sig 1 buffer full
Usually, this error occurs when your data collection device (for example, a PC
running an Agilent ChemStation) goes off-line while the GC is still collecting
data.
Possible causes and solutions:
• There is a problem with the PC, the cabling to the PC, or the local network
that links the GC to the PC. Check the PC, cabling, and network.
• The PC was turned off without closing the Agilent ChemStation instrument
session. The GC collects and stores real-time plot data until the buffer over-
flows and the warning appears. Next time, close the instrument session
before turning off the PC so that the GC stops collecting data.
• The PC entered power saver mode. When the PC enters power saver mode,
its processor slows down and cannot collect data fast enough for normal
communications, eventually causing the warning to appear. If the PC stays
in power saver mode overnight, for example, there will be an error on the
GC but the Agilent ChemStation will show a Ready status. Close and restart
the instrument session, and disable the PC’s power saver feature.
• There was a software problem on the PC that stops data collection.
• There is a hardware problem in the GC. If the problem persists, contact
Agilent for service.
