Home Chromatography Liquid Chromatography. Varian ProStar firmware issue. Hi everyone! The main problem is that the detector is not recognised as online when I try to gain control of it i. Also an error message always shows up at the start: Module Does anyone know if it is possible to downgrade the firmware?
Does anyone own an older firware eventually? Thanks in advance! Re: Varian ProStar firmware issue. Can you start your system? I have Varian and two Varian I need start it.
Hi Your Software is Star 6. A driver update for this software is available that will fix the connection to the detector. Without the driver update, the software will see the detector but will refuse connection.
Hi Chris, I have the same problem. Skip to content. Hi everyone, I'm currently assisting a fellow faculty member at our university in trying to get her old Varian LC system back online after a year of being neglected.
The setup is as follows: - Varian Prostar pumps there are two of them - Varian autosampler although my friend says she does manual injections only - Varian Prostar DAD - Computer Windows XP running Galaxie software The pumps and autosampler are connected to the computer through an RS serial cable. The DAD is connected to the computer by an ethernet cable directly.
There is no server - this is a standalone setup in a small lab. Last year, the DAD refused to communicate with the computer and the system was shut down and neglected for a year. My colleague purchased another Prostar used off ebay in case it was a problem with the hardware itself but she encountered the same problems.
After the visit from the Agilent rep, the software was removed and reinstalled so basically I was starting from scratch when I worked on it. Here's what I've done so far from scratch. I can now turn the pumps on and off using the software so I'm assuming its ok - Running into problems connecting detector to computer by ethernet cable. I've tried following the instructions in the manual for the driver as follows please note I'm not a networking expert : - Plugged ethernet cable into computer and detector.
Windows network properties says "limited to no connectivity" yet gives me an IP address and subnet mask - Used "Bootp" setup tool in Galaxie configuration manager - using the autodetect feature it picks up the mac address of the detector most of the time anyway. A column appears for an IP address defaulted to 0. When I click on the DAD tab, it comes up asking for an IP address but when I type in the IP address I gave the instrument in the bootp settings and click "check availability" - it keeps saying "not available" and I have no control over the detector.
I've also tried changing the ethernet cables and trying the second backup detector, no luck. Any hints would be greatly appreciated! TLDR : Can't connect a Varian Prostar to a computer running galaxie using an ethernet cable the machines won't talk to each other despite trying many things as detailed above. Try to manually assign PC IP address Hello Some hints to the - if you have a direct connection between computer and , you will have to use a cross-type ethernet cable.
Even if no connection to galaxie is existing, a plugged ethernet cable results in a "connection" symbol in the windows taskbar. If you have this software I recommend, to check if the detector connects to polyverify.

I instead have been using Bootp to assign the IP address of the instrument and the mac address is found for the detector.
