Clarity discussion forum

I haven't installed the beta yet to see if the changes to the FC GP module make this a moot point, but I noticed that in the method setup dialog for the FC GP module, the start time must be a value less than 1000 minutes. It would be nice to be able to set that value higher, for example when running stacked injections in a prep scale application. Feel free to move this if it belongs in the wish list forum.

Dear Scott,
the 1000 (999 min, to be more precise) is a value hardset in Clarity on several places, the reasons for it are more historical than anything (analyses that lasted for more than 1000 min took quite long to process on weaker hardware). Nowadays, it is probably not that necessary to have there. I have created a new record for this matter in our bug-tracking database, ISS52348. This may get into Clarity in some of the future versions.

Meanwhile please note that the FC GP module has become somewhat outdated - most fraction collectors we have known about had their control done in UNI Ruby. This includes Teledyne ISCO Foxy 200, Foxy R1 and Foxy R2, Gilson 203B and 204 and Advantec CHF122SB/CHF122SC fraction collectors, while other types are in the process of making a script for them (Teledyne ISCO Foxy Jr.). However, the behavior is the same for all of them and occurs even in the UNI Ruby control.

Dear Scott,

in Clarity 5.0 and later it is possible to set the Start Time up to 9 999 min. This value should be sufficient to fit all needs.
