This document describes the upgrade and release notes for Star Chromatography Workstation Version 6 Star Custom Report Writer. It includes information on upgrading from previous versions, operational differences between Version 6 and previous versions, and miscellaneous notes.
This document serves as the official upgrade and release notes for Agilent Star Custom Report Writer Version 6. It provides guidance for customers upgrading from previous versions, specifically addressing report template compatibility and potential issues with bitmaps in older templates.
The text also covers miscellaneous operational notes, including instructions on embedding OLE objects, managing overlaid report objects to prevent printing offsets, and handling display settings for chromatogram objects without a data source. Additionally, it highlights new features such as Access Control support and solvent gradient displays.
They are automatically upgraded when accessed by Version 6, but users must save the template before it can no longer be used by previous versions.
Users should remove embedded bitmaps from 'Pre 5.0' templates before opening them in Version 6 to avoid an 'Unexpected File Format' error.
The offset occurs if Overflow Printing is checked and objects are overlaid; disabling overflow printing or sizing objects appropriately can prevent this.
