Page 8: Confirmation Of Operation
Gas Chromatograph AI Maintenance Support Installation and License Guide For GC8000 For details on how to authorize licenses other than the free trial license, see Chapter 1 of IM 11B06H01-01EN. ALSO To continue to use the software after the free trial license expires, you will need to apply for a paid license, for which you will need to create a request file. See “3.3 Purchase Flow of Paid Licenses” for details on how to create a request file. ALSO 2.2 Confirmation of operation 2.2.1 Confirmation of health diagnosis operation After the license activation, it automatically loads the chromatograph data from a previous day stored in PCAS and starts training. The training may take several minutes. When the chromatogram of the first GC analysis result is output after the training is completed, the classification starts. Follow the procedure below to check if the training has been completed successfully and the classification has been made. C lick “All GCs” tab on the main screen to see the list of GCs to which licenses have been assigned. If the icon preceding the ID number is any one of the followings: training/classification has been successfully performed in default mode. The icon of the ID number indicates a status of Untrained until the initial classification has been made. Figure 3 All GCs tab TI 11B06H01-01EN Mar. - Page 9 Gas Chromatograph AI Maintenance Support Installation and License Guide For GC8000 When a training failed ID number indicates : a status of Untrained, even after a new chromatogram is generated, check the following items. 1. T he health diagnose setting screen is not automatically updated. You need to display the List tab again after displaying another screen. The display is updated. 2. H ealth diagnose is performed by using PCAS chromatogram. Therefore, if the PCAS folder name is different from the one in the setting, the chromatogram is not read. Check the PCAS folder name as follows. S elect [Configuration] > [Set PCAS Folder] on the menu bar. C heck the folder name there matches the directory of the actual PCAS folder that GCAI refers to. 3. C heck if the folder with the corresponding ID in the PCAS folder contains chromatograms for the previous day’s date. If the chromatogram of the previous day is not stored, the training cannot be performed in the default mode.

Page 11: Check Items Before Moving To The Paid Version
Gas Chromatograph AI Maintenance Support Installation and License Guide For GC8000 2.3 Check items before moving to the paid version Purchasing a paid license allows you to use GCAI even after the free period ends. Prior to purchasing, make sure that all of the following items apply: □ Confirmation of normal operation of the monitored GC as described in “2.2 Confirmation of operation”. □ Data has been stored for more than a day. □ The desired monitoring region setup of the anomaly detection function is set to enable. □ The results of the classification of the desired monitoring measuring stream/detector of the anomaly detection function can be confirmed. □ The prediction results of the resolution prediction function can be checked. □ The error log “The number of operation requests exceeds the processing limit” that occurs due to insufficient PC specifications is not generated. (This may occur due to the increased load at the time of training, but you can use the software if no error logs are generated during normal operation.) Or, the software stops or other malfunctions occur. If “The number of operation requests exceeds the processing limit” error log occurs, see the chapter 4 of IM ALSO 11B06H01-01EN When the above conditions are met, you may continue to use the service after the free period by purchasing a paid license. Track long-term trends to help maintain your GC. If you cannot confirm the above items and your free period has expired, please try during the paid period. -
