when
attempting to restore a valid backup after performing a complete uninstallation and reinstallation
of the Cary UV Workstation software. The Cary UV restore will still be completed. MER-9354.
Workaround: No workaround is available.
Problem: The description for the Normalize calculator function within the Help may cause incorrect
user inputs. MER-9214.
Workaround: Ensure the input is the X value (wavelength). The whole trace will then be divided by
the corresponding Y (Abs) value.
Problem: The red line marker disappears when starting a temperature-controlled run in Scan,
Kinetics and Concentration applications. MER-4992.
Workaround: No workaround is available.
Problem: The Crossover threshold value is over the maximum allowable for the field when using
%T. The Crossover range is not high enough for %T mode as Crossovers have an upper limit of 10
while %T values can range from ~0-100. MER-7269.
Workaround: No workaround is available.
Problem: Rapidly changing the minimum r2 values with the arrow keys while calibration traces are
present may cause the following: MER-6991.
Recalculate will stop working and the graph will stop refreshing.
Various errors are displayed below the minimum r2 field.
Navigating to the homepage and back to the worksheet will cause graph data to disappear.
Workaround: Closing and reopening the worksheet will enable recalculate to work again. Changing
the minimum r2 via the arrow keys will cause the issue again.

Problem: The ‘More items’ button becomes unresponsive on Group and file cards after moving a
file into the Group. MER-5121
Workaround: Click ‘Navigate’ in the top left corner of the software, and then click ‘Home’. The ‘More
items’ button on the Group and file cards will be active.
Problem: Importing the same .merc file twice at the same time will corrupt the file. MER-6757
Workaround: Allow adequate time to pass for the software to import files successfully.
Graphs
Problem: Traces may appear to lose data when performing large data collection scenarios.
MER-8137.
Workaround: No data has been lost. Close and reopen the file to refresh the graph.
Problem: Calculator results tables display results as 4 decimals in the report. MER-7421
Workaround: No workaround is available.
Problem: Data is displayed with the incorrect number of decimal places when migrating
worksheets with Peak tables or Wavelength tables that have multiple Y modes from Cary UV
Workstation 1.0 and 1.1 into Cary UV Workstation 1.2. MER-7318, MER-7319
Workaround: Regenerate the tables to view the graphs with the correct number of decimal places.
No data is lost.
Problem: The peak type labels do not accurately represent the trace value when traces with
differing y-modes are displayed (in particular Abs and %T). MER-5683
Workaround: Only have one y-mode per worksheet when utilizing the peak type labels feature.
Problem: The scaling on the y-axis disappears and the graph auto-scaling does not work when
selecting the Maximum y-range button during data collection. MER-4631, MER-4441
Workaround: Double-click on the graph to rescale in the y-direction and do not select the Maximum
y-range button during data collection.
Problem: A manually added annotation temporarily disappears if the graph scale is changed while

remainder of your collection.
Problem: Manual annotations do not work after navigating to a different page. MER-6764
Workaround: Turn manual annotations off and on via the manual annotation icon.
Problem: Manual annotations do not work on graphs generated after annotations have been
enabled. MER-6763
Workaround: Turn manual annotations off and on via the manual annotation icon.
Problem: Importing traces via the graph into a worksheet that has no collected data will cause the
Optimize stirring, Sipper checkbox, Import via sequence table and Increment via sequence table to
become disabled. MER-6128
Workaround: Collect data prior to importing traces or import to a file with existing traces present.
Problem: The instrument will remain in a busy state if the application is force closed while
operating the sipper functions e.g., manual rinse, diagnostics or optimize. MER-7091
Workaround: Power cycle the instrument or restart the PC.
Problem: The backup and restore tool fails when the Windows execution policy is set to “enabled”
or “allow all scripts”. MER-7071
Workaround: Contact your IT department to temporarily change the powershell script execution
policy to ‘not configured’ whenever a backup or restore is being performed. Once complete, revert
the policy to its original settings.
Concentration
Problem: With Averages on, Concentration standards may become duplicated in the sequence.
Only the last collected standard is displayed in the results table. MER-7863.
Workaround: Turn averages off and on to reset sequence.
Problem: The Increment button is enabled but does not work when “Replicates and averaging” is
turned on in the Concentration application. MER-7868.

3 Enable Replicates and averaging.
Agilent Cary UV Workstation Version 1.3 Software Status Bulletin
7
Problem: If the calibration fails, or the run is stopped during a ‘Replicate’ or ‘Average’ enabled
collect, the ‘Results’ table legend will not appear. MER-3406
Workaround: The abbreviations are: ‘cf’ is calibration failed, ‘o’ is over range, ‘u’ is under range, ‘r’ is
re-read, and ‘n’ is not used.
Problem: The baseline may be shifted down the table after importing a Sample list via the
Sequence page>Sequence table. MER-3377
Workaround: Deselect and reselect ‘Baseline’ in Sequence preferences.
Problem: When importing the sample list in Concentration, the imported list can circumvent the
built-in limits on certain fields. MER-6027
Workaround: Adjust the sample limits as needed. Use sample values within the set limits.
Problem: If a concentration collection is cancelled while collecting standards such that a standard
is partially collected, it will correctly not display values in the result table, but it may display the
value in the report along with the equation. The reported equation does not contain the value that is
displayed. MER-6726
Workaround: Rerun the collection to its completion to allow the standard to be completely
collected.
Problem: Calibration curves are not displayed when expanding or collapsing the status ribbon in
the Concentration application. MER-6692
Workaround: Navigate to another page and back to refresh the page and the display.
Problem: The distance between actual volume and Abs columns in the report for Concentration,
can become narrow when maximum volume is used. MER-6028
Workaround: Select another unit and use a smaller numeric value.
Problem: Slicing does not work correctly if collection is incomplete. MER-5835
Workaround: Allow collection to complete before performing a Slice function.
Problem: The Concentration application calibration graph plots are not visible under certain
conditions. MER-5837
Workaround: Navigate to another page and back to refresh the page and display the data.
Kinetics
Problem: The ‘Cycle’ duration and ‘Stop’ entries are not transferred correctly when importing Cary
WinUV Kinetics files into Cary UV Workstation software. MER-4138
Workaround: Reenter desired ‘Cycle’ and ‘Stop’ time for the measurement.
Problem: The file may fail to import when importing Cary WinUV Kinetics files into Cary UV
Workstation software from the Home page. MER-4137
Workaround: To view the data, save the Cary WinUV Kinetics file as a Data file and import via the
Graph. Create a new Method file directly in Cary UV Workstation software.
Problem: The rate calculation will differ from that which was calculated in Cary WinUV Scanning
Kinetics when importing Cary WinUV Scanning Kinetics files with multiple samples measured,
because the sample traces are all imported to the one graph. MER-3693
Workaround: In Trace Preferences, create graph/s for each sample and add continuum for each
sample to the individual graphs. The rate will then be calculated correctly.
Problem: Rate traces do not draw after a run ends if uncalculated slices are present. MER-6259
Workaround: Double-click on the graph or navigate to another page and back to restore rate traces.
Problem: Rate traces cannot be manually annotated. MER-6765
Workaround: Annotate on the corresponding parent trace that it was derived from.

icon), this will enable the export to csv feature.
Problem: Cell selection does not become disabled after a Scan wavelength collection. MER-5949
Workaround: No workaround available.
Problem: Performing a Calculator function such as Smooth or Derivative, followed by a Sloping
Baseline, will fail with default parameters. MER-6640
Workaround: Either modify your x-values to reflect the expected lesser x-values (due to the data
truncation of the x-values) or perform the Smooth or Derivative function individually before applying
a Sloping Baseline.
Thermal
Problem: Physically changing the probe position within the same block does not update the probe
status display in the Thermal application. The probe can still be driven and applying a temperature
to it will cause it to appear in the status display. MER-4954.
Workaround: No workaround is available.
Problem: In reports, the main graph is empty and cannot be hidden. This may occur when the
sequence is aborted or fails before data is collected. MER-8283.
Workaround: No workaround is available.
Problem: An “Analysis failed” notification and “Invalid parameters” error message are displayed
when performing a Thermal analysis recalculation with a zero data point trace amongst other
traces. MER-9112.
Workaround: No workaround is available.
Problem: Importing Cary WinUV Thermal methods (.mtm) into Cary UV Workstation via the Home
page will not import the Stage table parameters. The number of stages will be correct, but the
parameters for each stage are the default Cary UV Workstation values. MER-7886.
Workaround: No workaround is available.
Problem: Thermal analysis cannot be performed on data from a collection that was stopped. A
blank message and a “null” notification will be generated. MER-5172
Workaround: Allow the collection to finish before performing thermal analysis calculations.
Alternatively, export the data into a .csv format and then perform the calculation manually.
Problem: The Thermal module can be put into a ‘partially on’ state if module is powered off and on
too quickly (10 seconds or less). MER-4951
Workaround: Wait for at least 10 seconds before powering on the module.
Problem: The temperature values remain in the status bar after disconnecting the probe or turning
off the Thermal module. MER-4821, MER-4921
Workaround: This is a display issue. Once the module or probes are connected the temperature
values will update accordingly.

Workaround: Restart the computer.
Problem: Pressing Print on empty audit trail greys out the Print button. MER-6715
Workaround: Closing and reopening the worksheet reactivates the Print button.
Problem: Meta data for CSV file revisions saved in Content Management will retain the same user
and creation time as the initial revision. MER-6744
Workaround: No workaround available.
Problem: Closing the application while exporting will cause the export to fail or partially export, and
the Activity Log entries will be incorrect. MER-6742
Workaround: Allow enough time for an export to complete successfully.
Problem: If the PC powers off while attempting to login, after restarting the PC the next login may
not be successful. MER-6674
Workaround: Restart your PC.
Problem: Slicing on a baseline graph incorrectly triggers a reason for change. MER-6135
Workaround: No available workaround, enter a reason and select OK to save worksheet.
Problem: Login entries for Content Management do not specify the source PC. MER-6371
Workaround: No workaround available.
Agilent Cary UV Workstation Version 1.3 Software Status Bulletin
13
Problem: If a user saves a report to Content Management, then a second user logs in to the system
and saves another revision of the same report to Content Management, the meta data for the
second revision will assign the first user as creator. MER-6388
Workaround: If multiple users are intending to export content in the same session, close the
software and login as the new user before exporting content.
Problem: ECM XT component of the SVT fails for Windows users that did not install the software.
MER-6784
Workaround: Run the SVT as the Windows user that installed the software to ensure it passes.
Problem: Activity log entries for failed attempts to login, unlock and E-sign due to an apparent
password expiry may be due to an expired Windows account if Active Directories are in use. MER-
6788
Workaround: Contact your system administrator to re-enable your account.
Problem: A batch file is created instead of the method getting saved after creating a new method. If
a User with no Method Editing privilege modifies the ‘Number of samples’ entry and then closes the
method file, a batch file will be created in its place. MER-7156.
Workaround: This is the current expected behavior as the file cannot be closed without a save
occurring. Modifying the Number of samples should enable the User to start a run without a save
action, but this doesn’t occur when closing the file.
System Health
Problem: Peltier Control order switches after closing and reopening the application while
connected to an instrument. This order changes from 4-3-2-1 to 1-2-3-4, which causes the Peltier
Control fields to not line up with the above blocks. MER-8665.
Workaround: Disconnect and reconnect to instrument.
Problem: When exporting a calibration report to PDF the associated notification message appears
behind the report. MER-3896
Workaround: Go to the computer’s ‘Downloads’ folder to view the exported Report.
Problem: The Thermal STP self-test may fail when running all the Thermal self-tests one after the
other. This is due to the system not having adequate time to reach thermal stability. MER-5013
Workaround: The block temperature should be +/- 8° C of the ambient room temperature before
performing the Thermal STP test. Open the Thermal Module Dashboard in System Health to view
the block temperature.
System Verification
Problem: The Stray Light graphs are displayed with 1 decimal place after opening worksheets from
Cary UV Workstation 1.0 and 1.1 in Cary UV Workstation 1.2. MER-7254
Workaround: Save the file as a batch to display the Stray Light graphs with two decimal places. No
data is lost.
Problem: An empty result entry will be displayed with no data and no associated audit trail entry in
System Verification, when cancelling on the first loading guide while the instrument is
disconnected. MER-7018
Workaround: No workaround available.
Agilent Cary UV Workstation Version 1.3 Software Status Bulletin
Problem: In System Verification, the result entry is displayed with no data and the creation of the
empty entry does not appear in the Audit trail after cancelling the first loading guide, closing the
worksheet, and then either exporting the .csv or reopening the worksheet, MER-7024
Workaround: To avoid the creation of an empty result entry, if the first loading guide is cancelled,
either start the run via OK on loading guide, or create a new worksheet.
Problem: When collecting a system verification batch from a previously created System
Verification method, opening any other batch created from the same method will cause graphical
issues MER-7065.
Workaround: Close and re-open files once the sequence has completed.
Chinese
Problem: There is no software version number in System Information in System Health. MER-6842
Workaround: The software version number is available from the Home menu on the left panel.
Problem: The Cary-UV Auditor role has the “Edit Project content” privilege set by default in Chinese
locale. MER-9314.
Workaround: No workaround is available
Japanese
Problem: The Japanese translated text for the temperature units is incorrect in the Thermal report.
MER-9331.
Workaround: No workaround is available.
Problem: The Cary-UV Auditor role has the “Edit Project content” privilege set by default in
Japanese locale. MER-9314.
Workaround: No workaround is available.
Problem: Audit trail entries in Japanese translated text for imported data (migrated .merc files) are
inaccurate. MER-9000.
Workaround: No workaround is available.
Problem: A blank or partially blank PDF report is created after printing immediately after the Cary
UV Workstation Plus software installation is completed or after rebooting the computer. MER-7493
Workaround: Wait approximately 20-30 seconds and then print the report again.
