The following are the release notes for Tetra OpenLab Agent versions 1.0.x. The Agent is an on-premises, Windows-based data integration that pulls data from Agilent OpenLab CDS and uploads it to the Tetra Data Platform (TDP). The integration can help scientists quickly process, analyze, and cross-reference chromatography data from Agilent OpenLab CDS through Tetra Data Apps, such as Chromatography Insights. The data can then also be processed by a pipeline, translated into a Tetra Data model, and integrated with other systems.

  • Raw Data: Chromatograms, Signal
  • Peak Information: Retention Time, Peak area and height, and Peak width
  • Linked Processing Method
  • Compound Information: Compound Name, Calibration
  • Injection List: Sample Information, Sequence Position
  • Imported data originally generated using Agilent Chemstation
  • Audit Trail: Name of User that defined or modified the acquisition method
• Configure Project Command: allows customers to programmatically notify the Agent to configure an OpenLab project to either upload or stop uploading data to the TDP by using the TetraScience.Agent.openLab.ConfigureOpenLabProjects command and TDP Command Service.
