Site Prep Tool


INTRODUCTION The site prep tool is a small application that is designed to run on the customer PC with the purpose of evaluating the system and determine if it meets the necessary hardware and software requirements before installing any Agilent LSCA software products like ChemStation or EZChrom.

The tool is a self-contained package that should not interact or interfere with the operation of any other customer applications, however, the tool does require that .NET framework 2.0 be installed.

Site Prep Tool


DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL The Site Prep Tool can be downloaded from the following web site:

http://www.chem.agilent.com/en-US/Technical-Support/Software-Informatics/Utilities/Pages/SWSitePrepTool.aspx

Site Prep Tool


The downloaded file will be in the form of a Self-Extracting executable that will automatically extract the application files and start the program. Simply double-click on the executable, select the “Install” button on the UI and the contents will be unzipped to a folder on the hard drive (default is C:\SitePrep Tool) or it can unzipped to a USB drive if the tool will be used to evaluate multiple systems.

Please note that the utility must be run by a user with Administrative privileges on the PC being evaluated.

Site Prep Tool


USING THE TOOL Once extracted, Site Prep Tool is ready to start. Click on the down-arrow and select the Agilent software to be installed on the system. Once selected click the “OK” key.

The system details form will be shown, here we can enter the name of the organization and contact information. Click the Start button (Circled) to start the discovery process or select GoStart from the menu.

Site Prep Tool


Once the discovery process has finished the Site Prep Tool will display the results, Red is fail and Green is pass, Yellow means that the information must be checked manually. Review and verification of the results can be done by simply clicking on the links in the Summary section or by selecting a node on the tree structure on the left task bar.

Site Prep Tool


In the example below we can see the information gathered by the tool together with the expected results.

The tool can automatically detect most PC components, however, it may not be able to determine if they are appropriate for the software being installed. Therefore, any item that cannot be verified is highlighted in yellow with a “Warning” and will require a manual check.

Site Prep Tool


A failed status will be highlighted in red.

Often a failed status may simply require a change in the software configuration setting. In the example below the Firewall was not enabled and therefore the security details failed. A simple firewall configuration change can be done in the operating system in order to meet Agilent requirements.

Site Prep Tool


“Help” links have been included in the tool that provide instructions on how to make these simple configuration changes or provide additional information regarding the test.

Site Prep Tool


SAVING THE REPORT The generated report can be saved as a PDF file by simply clicking on the “floppy disk” icon or by selecting GoSave Report and select a location to store the report, the default location is x:\SitePrep Tool. The final report can be used by an Agilent representative to help the customer determine if changes to the system are necessary prior to installing Agilent LSCA software.

Site Prep Tool


To re-run the Site Prep Tool after exiting the program go to X:\SitePrep Tool\SitePrepStartExe where X is the drive where the Site Prep tool folder is located.

To un-install the program simply delete the Site Prep Tool folder on the hard drive.
