Problems using MMSIT

This error was not heard of before .

In the software MMSIT, the sample information is stored in a simple MS Access DB. My first guess is, that either your DB got modified or that the shared component for DB interfacing (MDAC) was modified to a different version.

In a first step, try to run the software with the default DB as it came with the installtion. If that does not help, check on the installation of MDAC on your computer. Use the ‘MDAC Component Checker’ from the MS site [url]http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=8f0a8df6-4a21-4b43-bf53-14332ef092c9&displaylang=en[/url] to get the relevant information. I just tried it with MDAC 2.7 SP 1 and it works fine. If you have an older version, try upgrading to the most recent one ([url]http://msdn.microsoft.com/data/Default.aspx[/url]). Please report on your Windows version, service packs and MDAC version should the error persist.

Hope this helps,

I checked it out on our sSTR and found nothing wrong with the MMSIT. For the mass range 2000-25000 with bin size 4 ns we end up with 40000 data points in reflector mode and 27000 in linear mode. Could you verify for me that the data file which you specified in the MMSIT was acquired with the appropriate number of data points (open it as instrument settings in the VC)? It is this file which defines the image settings, no the current settings of the VC.
