Software Compatibility Matrix

GC/MS ChemStation

The attached chart contains information on the compatibilities that exist between
various versions of MS ChemStation, operating systems, instrument and printer
models, etc. This is a complex subject, and the chart contains information in shorthand
form that is believed to be accurate at the time the chart was revised. Such a chart
cannot contain all the information necessary when making decisions on upgrades, etc.
Before purchasing equipment for upgrade, you should consult with your Agilent
Technologies sales rep.

The following notes are used on this chart:

(1) Replacement media.

(2) Supported via contact closure.
