Installing the Agilent Lab Advisor Software
For details of installation procedures for the Agilent Lab Advisor software, 
refer to the software documentation on the Lab Advisor DVD.
Agilent Lab Advisor replaces and extends the diagnostic functions that 
were formerly available only in the ChemStation software.
Agilent Lab Advisor is a Windows- based application that continuously 
monitors instruments in the lab in real time and increases productivity 
through automatic notification of maintenance and service needs with the 
use of advanced counters. This allows a problem to be fixed before it 
impacts results. The software includes an extensive suite of user 
information and documentation, a set of calculators and tools to help set 
up, calibrate, and maintain your instrument, and tests and diagnostic 
routines to verify proper performance. Agilent Lab Advisor also provides 
feedback and solutions for any instrument errors that may arise. The 
software will work with or without Agilent data systems.
The software monitors:
• LC module status
• Early Maintenance Feedback (to determine the need for upgrade or 
replacement)
In addition, the software:
• Automates useful tests,
• Attempts to identify supported LAN- based instruments that are 
powered on and connected to your PC or lab’s network,
• Automatically suggests replacements parts and troubleshooting tasks for 
some common instrument problems.
