Hi! I'm working on a GC 5890 and GC Chemstation Rev. A 10. 01 [1635] with a capillary column.
I've finished all my samples injected and now I'm working on drawing baselines of peaks. I've been working with the software for the past 3 weeks until today when I tried to load a signal as I did before, the software suddenly stuck and popped out a message: "Floating point exception invalid number detected". Then I have to shut the software.

That message popped out before, a long time ago and I just restarted the PC and reopened the Chemstation. It worked. The strange thing was I could never work on the data with the Chemstation Offline because the "Copy mannual events to method" button and the "Apply manual events to method" button disappeared and I found they were on the Chemstation online. So I started to process the data with the Chemstation online from then on and it's been working well.

Today, I did the disk cleanup on the PC, restarted the PC, and found some online tutorials from Agilent about this error, but I couldn't find any better solution than "restart the PC". Obviously, it doesn't work for me. I couldn't find any useful information from the manuals coming with the software.

Does anyone here have experience with it?
Any suggestions would be really appreciated!
Thanks!

Oh oh thanks! I thought I posted on the wrong forum and I reposted here..

Okay, I've moved this thread here to Data Systems and deleted the original.

Hi
Not sure on this error, but there is patch to A.10.02, perhaps try this and see how you get on.
