Chlorinity	23-Aug	AM	23-Aug	AM	Had no return communication initially; titrator would start when commanded from software but no titration data was being sent back and shown in the software. Had to adjust the COM handshake setting on the titrator to 'none' and then it worked normally.

IC	22-Aug	AM	23-Aug	AM	MagIC net software does an auto adding of connected devices on first startup. When importing the saved configuration it didn't take any of the imported settings for the autosampler due to the instrument already being in the configuration. Had to manually add/update certain settings to get it to work right; depth for tower lift positions and angle for rinse/waste positions. Could also probably disconnect devices which would allow the device to then be deleted from the configuration and then import the saved configuration settings.

NGA1 & NGA2	16-Aug	AM	21-Aug	AM	MUT looks for an instrument name of 'NGA-2' or 'NGA-1' in the upload files. Had to get the instrument configuration name changed to match that for MUT uploading to work.

SRA	26-Aug	AM	31-Aug	AM	Data needs to be saved to a folder outside of the 'Thermal Station' folder. Anything saved within the Thermal Station folder is invisible or does not exist outside of the SRA software. If data is saved within the Thermal Station folder the only way to retrieve it at the moment is to open each sample one by one within SRA software and manually copy the results.

AF demagnetizer D-2000	22-Aug	MK	29-Aug	MK	PC (workstation) not changed. Testing AF peak intensity with tuning coil suggests lower AF applied at the first try. Make sure to insert the tuning coil in the right location inside the D-tech. Second check gives good AF field values.
FlexIT	18-Aug	MK	24-Aug	MK	Runtime error at software installation - needs original installer (setup.exe). After finding installer, successful installation on three computers (Kappa, Desclogik/PP, downhole/underway) FlexIT tools need to be registered in MeasureIT in order to be able to start a survey (serial number and registration number available on Confluence) Rotation tests performed on the dock for both tools (0936 and 0937) - SUCCESSFUL Successful upload with MUT2 (Kappa computer). LORE Reports OK
Icefield	26-Aug	MK	27-Aug	MK	Palm devices need to be installed with HotSync on a computer (done in the DH lab) with serial port number (COM3). Rotation tests performed on the dock for both tools (2043 and 2052) - SUCCESSFUL Successful upload with MUT2 (Downhole lab computer). LORE Reports OK
IM-10 and IM-10-30 Impulse magnetizers	20-Aug	MK	20-Aug	MK	IM-10 (usually used by scientists) : Test with IRM imparted at 100 mT - samples measured with JR6 spinner - values OK IM-10-30: Test with IRM imparted at 1200 mT - samples measured with JR6 spinner - values OK
JR-6A spinner 1	18-Aug	MK	20-Aug	MK	Spinner 1 : currently in use in the lab Rema6 version modified by Agico for our needs (includes specific configuration file) installed. MUT issue - purple question marks --> Issue solved by changing the SpinnerSettings.xml file Successful upload to LIMS with MUT, LORE reports (standard and expanded) OK
JR-6A spinner 2	24-Aug	MK	24-Aug	MK	Spinner 2 : spare spinner magnetometer Spare spinner needs its own RS232 serial port (com port 2). Actuator check, calibration and sample holder correction successful. No samples were measured.
MS2C 36 mm susceptibility meter	22-Aug	MK	22-Aug	MK	Calibration check OK. Measured values on play samples similar to bulk susceptibility with MFK2
SRM Discrete mode	29-Aug	MK	31-Aug	MK	Checking sample information window (IMS v13 installed on 8/20/2022 evening). Fixing IMS code for working (top-away) discrete sample and test measurements. Final check of the IMS code on 8/321/2022. Successful upload to LIMS with MUT (make sure that no aux-file is open in Excel or Notepad ++, upload won't be complete otherwise)
SRM Section Half mode	21-Aug	MK	31-Aug	MK	Cryowatch has new com port: good one is #7. Checking sample information window (IMS v13 installed on 8/20/2022 evening) - SRM code fixed on 8/27/2022 for archive section half. IMS code for Archive and Working section halves was checked. SRM code fixed on 8/31/2022 for working half. Test measurements with play core were done. Successful upload to LIMS with MUT
Thermal demagnetizer TD-48SC	26-Aug	MK	26-Aug	MK	Heating test at 150deg for 20 minutes - fan and timer working, temperature increases/decreases Not possible to check if the temperature displayed on the screen is the actual temperature in the oven
MFK2 Kappabridge	18-Aug	MK	20-Aug	MK	Use Anisoft5-Setup.exe to install successfully Anisoft5. New version of Anisoft5 received on 8/19/22, sent by Martin Chadima. Works great ! Runtime error for Safyr7 disappeared when double click on Safyr7.exe. Safyr7 opens but does not activate the instrument (no communication with the PC). Installation of driver to communicate via USB port is necessary. After driver installation, PC was able to communicate with instrument. Performing measurement test (AMS) with 10 discrete samples created in 999-U9397A. Measurements OK. Four files created OK. Recognized by MUT2 with proper analysis. Upload in LIMS successful, LORE Report (Standard and Expanded) OK.
Hall Probe	6-Sept	MK	6-Sept	MK	Axial and transverse Hall probes tested in the SRM to check the field applied by the coils after degausser controller/amplifier issue. Status of the two probes is OK.

Bead maker	29 Aug	JR	29 Aug	JR	New LiBr solution was made by Chem on 2 Sep 2022 to replace solution from 2017 that had lint floating in it. Do not leave the bottle uncapped when not active pipetting sample out.
D4 ENDEAVOR XRD	18 Aug	JR	27 Aug	JR	Service visit occurred just prior to replacing the instrument host computer. After replacing the instrument host computer, the D4 would run into a script error and could not run samples. It was found that not all files in the DIFFPLUS folder had been copied. Once these files were replaced, the D4 was then able to run samples again. XRD Wizard files was also not copied over, however, when they were copied over, the program could not be opened. MCS Thomas dug around and was able to solve the issue as the XRD Wizard needs Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime to work, which was not automatically installed on the new instrument host computer when the Bruker files were ported over with PC Mover. Once this was downloaded, XRD Wizard opened with no issue. The Eva v5.1 dongle was not being recognized, which was solved by unistalling and reinstalling the Codemeter application and enabling the server access. Then PDF2 Database was compiled using the DSRD Compiler and enable in Eva so that the Search/Match function could be performed. See 397P X-Ray Tech Report for more detail.

Mettler balances	29 Aug	JR	31 Aug	JR	In the Mettler Toledo software program (Balance Master 5000). I had to switch COM1 and COM2 otherwise it was subtracting the weight. COM2 should be the first listed COM and COM1 should be the second listed COM. You must close and reopen the program for this change to take affect. When uploading, do not fill in anything in the 'Replicate' column of the Spreadsheet Uploader.
Tracer-5g	1 Sep	JR			The pXRF currently will not boot up properly and the laptop will not recognize it when you turn it on when it is plugged in. Troubleshooting with US Analytical.
AERIS XRD	22 Aug	JR	30 Aug	JR	XRDMP Creator and Dataviewer did not require a license and were installed. The newest copy of HighScore Plus v4.9 was received from Malvern Panalytical, installed, and activated. There is 1 activation remaining for the HighScore Plus License. The Aeris instrument suite (which was not reinstalled or needed on the XRDIH) also has only 1 activation remaining. The PDF-4/Axiom database was installed and a new registration key was applied for and granted. This was activated and enabled in HighScore Plus. See the 397P X-Ray Technical Report for more details.
