PGC5000 Series Service Instructions
If only option names show, you do not have enough rights to use the backup and restore options.
Stop all schedules before creating a recovery USB or backing up the stream files to a USB flash drive.
ACCESS CONTROL LIST – Selecting the Access Control List (ACL) icon displays a dialog box containing a list of users, passwords,
and access levels that is distributed, encrypted and persisted at each device. The ACL can be modified from a PGC5000
(LUI or Remote Client), VNSA, or a STAR Client. If the analyzer is secured, any user with supervisory rights can modify the
ACL. If the PGC5000 is unsecured, everyone has the ability to modify the ACL.
Stop all schedules before restoring from a recovery USB flash drive.
FACTORY – Selecting the Restore Settings icon restores the analyzer to the factory configuration. AllL user configuration
changes to the system will be lost.
USER – Selecting the Save icon creates a User Restore point. The system copies all configuration files from the working
directory to the Restore directory on the analyzer. You should create a restore point prior to making any changes or
updates to the analyzer.
Selecting the Restore Settings icon restores the system to the user created restore point. It copies the configuration files
from the Restore directory to the Working directory of the Master Controller and restarts the system.
Creating the recovery drive takes several minutes. Wait for the "Operation Completed" message before
ejecting and removing the USB thumb drive. Remove and store the Recovery drive in a safe place.
You must use a USB drive having 32 gb or less. If you use a USB drive larger than 32 gb, the system will
appear to write the data to the drive and give a "Creation Complete" message, but no data will be on the
drive.
RECOVERY – Selecting the USB Flash Drive Operation icon creates a recovery drive on the USB flash drive inserted in the Master
Controller Single Board Computer. This operation takes up to thirty minutes to complete depending on system
configuration. The user restore director is NOT saved to the Recovery drive.
To restore the system from an unrecoverable lockup or after replacing the Single Board Computer, install the USB flash
drive and apply power to the system. The Master controller formats the flash memory and copies all of the files from the
USB flash drive to the system's flash memory. Wait for the Upgrade Complete message to appear. Select the USB Eject
icon and wait for the Eject Complete message to appear. Remove the USB drive and cycle power on the Master Controller
to reboot.
STREAM FILE – Selecting the USB Flash Drive Operation icon copies all stored chromatogram files on the system to the flash
drive inserted in the Master Controller SBC board. Copying the data files will take several minutes. Wait for the Operation
Complete message to appear. Select the USB Eject icon and wait for the Eject Complete message to appear and then
remove the USB flash drive.
Selecting the Delete Icon deletes all saved chromatograms and report files on the system. It does not delete analyses
saved in the Analysis Config folder or Analysis Library folder.
DIAGNOSTICS – Selecting the USB Flash Drive Operation icon will copy all diagnostic files to a USB drive inserted in the Master
Controller SBC board. Diagnostic files are used to diagnose errors and events in software. These files are for factory use
and troubleshooting purposes. The copying of the files should take only a few minutes. Wait for the Operation Complete
