Trouble in export method to MassLynx guioliveirareis  2022-10-05 06:29
 
Dear Brandon and Skyline Team,

I've downloaded the new Skyline version to run a SRM experiment in Waters Xevo TQS-micro, however when I try to export the method this message pop-up:

Here, we use MassLynx 4.2 SCN 977 (with TargetLynx installed).

I've tried reinstall and uninstall several times, with several ways. I have no ideia what is happening, and then I was wondering if you have seen this message before in Waters equipaments?

Thank you very much for your help,

Guilherme

Another user had the same error message back in 2019:
https://skyline.ms/announcements/home/support/thread.view?rowId=39006

In that other support request, it was determined that it was just a problem with version SCN 876 and that user needed to contact Waters to get an updated version of the MassLynx software.

Which SCN version are you using and can you send us your .exp template?

Hi Nick,

Thanks for your quick answer!

Here we use version SCN 977.

The .exp file is attached.

Thanks for your time!

Please contact the Waters service organisation using iRequest. A support case will then be raised and assigned to the appropriate person to help you with this.
