[version 4.0.0.7546]

Display warning message if Sample Loss Prevention is disabled. Clicking the warning message will re-enable Sample Loss Prevention, to prevent samples being run if there are any system errors or pending windows updates that require the PC to restart.
Inform the user when trying to start the task list that Sample Loss Prevention has prevented the task list from running because of detected errors
All sample acquisition methods now automatically check to see if the monitoring peaks were present. If no monitoring peaks are detected, the task is put in the Error state and an error status message is created resulting in the task list being paused.
Stability and Linearity methods will confirm the presence of monitoring peaks as well as automatically calculate the stability and linearity results. If an issue is detected, the task is automatically put into the warning completed state (warning icon).
Moving the mouse over a completed task with a warning / error image will display the reason for the completion error.
When a windows update pending PC restart is detected, the displayed warning message can be clicked to open up the PC Windows Update settings (Windows 10 only)

Some methods will now complete with an “Warning” (orange warning icon), but the task list will continue – meaning that some internal validation has failed (auto tune, stability, linearity, etc.) and the method result has been logged.
Some methods will now complete with an “Error” (red cross). This will mean that some internal validation failed resulting in the task list being stopped.
If a task completes with an Error or Warning symbol, a summary message is available by moving the mouse over the symbol.
Fix duplicate columns appearing in the task list
Tasks are now correctly selected by right clicking on them
Quick tasks can now be easily imported and exported to different lyticOS installations.

Be able to view method log success within the system configuration
Be able to customize the method log to define the validity of a successful method (Always, Daily, Weekly, Monthly)
Add method block to method designer log method status (success or failure)
Add method block to method designer to return method status (taking into account defined validity) and most recent run date

Add new concept to allow parameters to be recorded and accessed between subsequent tasks
Support different scopes / lifetimes of parameters (Current Task List Run, Connected System, System Configuration)
Allow properties / collection data types to be edited and viewed within the method designer, task list and system configuration

iso TOC methods have been added
Dual inlet - bake out now ensures that all valves are in the correct position
"Get Number Of Peaks" block added to return the number of peaks in a dataset
Methods updated to record status of Acquisitions, Peak Center, Auto HP, Auto ZP, Stability, Linearity, etc. for each species and tuning.
When using an "Error" block you can now set the “Stop Task List” parameter

Improve designer performance and load time
Improve Undo / Redo event naming
Ruberband selection now includes connections
New validation group to change the name of Boolean selection options
Child flows are now listed in name order
Record method editor UI state for Undo / Redo (selection, zoom, etc.)
Error method block now has a parameter to say if the task list should be paused or not
Add “Get Sample Run Position” block to let methods behave different if they are the first or last sample in a run

Calculated columns can now use group aggregation results as variables
Fix PDF reports to ensure that any excel formulas are calculated explicitly (Summary, Average, Standard Deviation, etc.)
Change the “Major …” results to be “Detection Height / Area / Width”
Ability to change the size of peak labels within the Configure View dialog
Ability to show None, All or Auto peak labels within a chromatogram
Batches can now be exported directly from the lyticOS home screen (right click)
Right clicking on a sample within the batch grid will now select it
Have increased the Stability and Linearity threshold parameters so that they are correctly used to indicate possible problems
Fix batch grid column custom formatting issues (Retention Time, Width, etc.)

Improve the accuracy of Automatic Peak End Detection to reliably give 30 seconds of baseline data after the peak end is detected.
Add CentrION Inlet motor position parameter to allow subsequent runs after being on a different inlet
Batch comparison view now has independent axis synchronization for different species
Ensure that the monitoring pulses are created correctly when asking for more than 1 pulse.

Fix monitoring gas ratio results being displayed in the batch grid
Automatically set the “Ignore Threshold” property to peak map items when adding a peak to a peak map that is below the data processing threshold
When importing a peak map ensure that it is not suffixes with “ - copy”
Can now customize the Retention Time Threshold parameter for Peak Map items (defaults to 10 seconds)

Allow bellows operation using a slider with small and large steps
Much faster bellows response
Make recording of bellows zero position more intuitive
When requesting bellows to position 0, automatically subtract a little more and record as new zero position
Add a ribbon tab with a button to “Set Beam Height”, which iteratively moves the bellows until the target beam value is achieved.
Allow parameters to be customized independently for sample and reference beam through the ribbon tab within a connected system.
Add a block to go to a beam height
Add pressure transducer offset parameter
Be able to read the pressure readbacks within a method
Fix real time data processing results not being displayed on chromatograms
Add data processing ribbon tab to the connected system view
Include log messages within iso DUAL inlet Data Analysis panel
New Measure Collector Zeroes (DI) locked method

Extend the iso FLOW methods to use the "Get Number Of Peaks" block to verify if the run was successful or not and record method status
Fix the iso FLOW system configuration creator to use the correct layout

Be able to report or pause the task list if a beam intensity exceeds a defined threshold
Display status message if the turbo service is due. Clicking the message will hide it for 1 month.
