About This Document

This document contains a revision history of OMNIC Paradigm software, including new features that may not be included in the user guide, resolved issues and known issues.

OMNIC Paradigm v2.5 HF1

Release Date: October 2023

Supported Operating Systems: Windows 11 64-bit; Windows 10 64-bit

Resolved Issues

Incorrect values when importing spectra data

%T values were 100 times greater than they should be when you imported these files types:

  • Grams (*.spc)

  • JCAMP-DX (*.jdx)

  • Perkin-Elmer (*.sp)

  • Jasco (*.jws)

This is fixed and the software now displays the correct values for %T.

Repeated prompt asking if you trust the connection to a Nicolet Summit or Summit PRO spectrometer

A bug caused you to have to indicate that you trust the connection every time you started the software and connected to a Nicolet Summit or Summit PRO spectrometer. This is fixed, and the software now remembers if you trust the connection.

OMNIC Paradigm v2.5

Release Date: September 2023

Supported Operating Systems: Windows 11 64-bit; Windows 10 64-bit

New Features

General Features

OMNIC Paradigm software now supports more file types

You can now import spectral data from other applications, including the following:

  • Grams (*.spc)

  • JCAMP-DX (*.jdx)

  • Perkin-Elmer (*.sp)

  • Bruker (*.[0-9])

  • Jasco (*.jws)

  • TSV Text (*.tsv)

Enhancements for using OMNIC Paradigm software with Security Suite software

The new version of OMNIC Paradigm software supports a full audit trail for tagging, including tags created in workflows, supports showing multiple digital signatures in reports, and shows the database and security server hostnames in the system status information. We have also added a security policy in Security Administration software to allow you to buffer and save data.

The software now uses HTTPS

OMNIC Paradigm software now uses HTTPS instead of HTTP. This means that the data you send over the network is encrypted for improved security and privacy. This change also means that the first time you connect to a remote instrument, such as a Summit spectrometer on your network, you will be asked if you trust the instrument. This is expected.

OMNIC Paradigm Configuration Utility

The new OMNIC Paradigm Configuration Utility is used to set up and customize your SSL certificate for the software. This utility should be used only by administrators and should use only the default settings unless your organization�s policies require a change.

Time Series Measurements

Zoom in on profiles

You can now zoom in on the profile pane for a closer look at the profile. Right-click the profile and select zoom. Then, click and drag to draw a box and click in the box to zoom to that area. Double-click to return to the full profile.

Save interferograms with your time series measurements

You now have the option to save interferograms with the time series data. After setting your analysis type as Time Series, select More to view more settings. Saving interferograms will increase the size of the saved data.

Add comments and custom fields to time series measurements.

Now you can add comments and custom fields to time series data, just like you could with standard measurements previously. To add a comment or a custom field, select Time Series in the measurements pane of the dashboard and then select More to view details.

Import legacy time series measurements from OMNIC software

You can now import legacy Time Series files (files with a .srs file name extension), allowing you to work with your older OMNIC data in OMNIC Paradigm software.

Workflows and Packages

New qualification workflows for the Nicolet iN5 microscope

OMNIC Paradigm software now supports a suite of qualification workflows for the Nicolet iN5 microscope.

Analyze peak areas with the Peak Analysis tile

The Peak Analysis tile now supports the Peak Area and Peak Area Ratio operations.

Microscopy

Support for the Nicolet iN5 Microscope

OMNIC Paradigm software now supports the Nicolet iN5 microscope. See the new Nicolet iN5 Microscope with OMNIC Paradigm software user guide for more information.

Apply atmospheric suppression after collecting data

You can now apply atmospheric suppression to your session data after finishing your measurement. Previously, you had to set this before measuring.

Live spectrum view shows interferogram minimum, maximum, and range values

The live spectrum view now shows the minimum and maximum voltage for the interferogram and the total difference or range.

Better filters and search with security

When finding saved sessions, you can now use security-related filters to find sessions more quickly. Before, you could do this with measurements and time series data but not with sessions.

The Live Spectrum pane shows a saturation warning

The Live Spectrum pane now shows a warning that the detector is saturated when the interferogram voltage is too high.

Use the RaptIR microscope as a right-side emission source

If your microscope is installed on the right-side of your spectrometer, you can now use it as emission source. Select right-side collimated as your source in the software.

The camera view available on the dashboard

We added the Camera View to the toolbar on the dashboard so that you can more easily view your sample before you start your session.

Added Roundness to particle analysis results

Particle analysis now shows a value for roundness in addition to the previous results.

Raman Module: Turn off the laser after a period of inactivity

When using the Raman module, you can now have the laser turn off automatically after a set period of inactivity. This can help protect your sample from accidental damage.

Raman module: The system will automatically cancel

If you open the accessory door or turn the laser off while collecting data, the system will now automatically cancel and will stop collecting.

Resolved Issues

General Features

Improved spectral images in reports

Reports now show a smoother, higher-resolution image of your spectra.

Reports from a Factory Qualification workflow did not always open in the Touchscreen view.

This has been resolved the reports now correctly open when using the Touchscreen view.

Unexpected initial value when calibrating the laser

When calibrating the laser, if the actual laser frequency was outside of the range the software expected, the software would start the calibration at a default value before calibrating. Calibration was working correctly but the screen showed an incorrect starting value. The software now shows the correct, actual starting frequency.

Problem with navigation in the Touchscreen view

When using the Touchscreen view, when doing a Search or QCheck analysis, if you set your Final Format to Single Beam, you may have been unable to navigate to other setup tabs, such as the Summary tab. Single Beam was not a valid option for these types of analysis, so we removed this option and you can no longer encounter this issue.

Missing result in the Quantification and Algorithms Workflow report

The Quantification and Algorithms workflow report was missing the result of the Similarity Match test. The test was still running but the report was not showing the result. This is fixed and the report now shows the Similarity Match result.

Default time range is now All instead of Past Week

By default, the measurements pane now shows you all your measurements, reports, and other saved data rather than showing only data collected in the past week.

You can no longer set your beamsplitter in the software if you do not have an ABX.

It was possible to select a beamsplitter in the software that was not actually installed in the instrument. Now, if you do not have an ABX installed, the beamsplitter is read from the instrument and cannot be incorrectly changed.

Microscopy

Improved file handling when closing a session

Previously it was possible to close the software without saving your session. Now when you close a session, you always have the option to save your data or to cancel and continue working.

Improved the circularity calculation in particle analysis

The previous calculation for circularity when doing particle analysis was incorrect. We have improved the calculation and now the results are more accurate for particles with a high value for circularity.

RaptIR microscopes no longer incorrectly report that the detector is not optimized

For RaptIR microscopes that did not have a swappable detector, the software sometimes incorrectly reported that the detector needed to be optimized. This has been fixed and you will no longer see this message on these systems.

You can set different scan numbers for each point in the region queue

In earlier versions of software, all points were measured using the same number of scans. Now you can set a separate scan number for each point.

Add comments and custom fields to time series measurements.

Now you can add comments and custom fields to time series data, just like you could with standard measurements previously. To add a comment or a custom field, select Time Series in the measurements pane of the dashboard and then select More to view details. Previously, these fields were not working correctly.

Corrected the area % calculation in MCR analysis

The area percent value was incorrect when doing MCR analysis. This is fixed and now shows the correct area percent.

The stage moves automatically when prompting you to insert or remove the ATR attachment.

When the software prompts you to insert or remove the ATR attachment, the stage now moves automatically to provide clearance.

Fixed the option to use the analyzer when using a polarizer

In previous versions, when using the polarizer with a RaptIR microscope, the No Analyzer option doing the opposite of what was desired. Now it is fixed and selecting No Analyzer will move the analzer out of the beam path.

Known Issues

Repeated prompt asking if you trust the connection to a Nicolet Summit or Summit PRO spectrometer

When connecting to a Nicolet Summit or Summit PRO spectrometer with a built-in computer, a prompt may appear asking if you trust the connection. This prompt should appear only once and then remember your response. However, there is currently an issue that may cause this prompt to appear every time you start the software and connect to the instrument.

Thermo Software IQ reports missing files after upgrading from version 2.3

If you are upgrading from version 2.3, Thermo Software IQ may show that there are missing files after installing the new version. To fix this issue, repair the installation using the operating system tools. When the OMNIC Paradigm software installation screen opens, select Repair.

You may encounter an error during installation.

If you see a message during the software installation that says �an error has occurred during installation of OMNIC Paradigm,� click Yes to cancel the remainder of the installation. Restart your computer and then start the installation again. This should resolve the issue. If the issue persists, contact a support representative.

Canceling the low-magnification mosaic stops all automation

If you cancel the low-magnification (such as 4x) mosaic, the system should still switch to the high-magnification (such as 15x) objective and perform autofocus. Instead, it does not switch or autofocus automatically. To bring the sample into focus, change objectives in the software and use the autofocus tool.

OMNIC Paradigm v2.4

Release Date: July 2023

Supported Operating Systems: Windows 11 64-bit; Windows 10 64-bit

New features in OMNIC Paradigm software

General Features

Support for FT-Raman with the Raman module

OMNIC Paradigm software now supports FT-Raman measurements using the Raman module with a compatible spectrometer.

Bundle log files

Use the Gather Log Files tool to quickly package your log files and share them with a support representative. This will help us better diagnose and resolve any issues.

Clear all annotations

You can now delete all spectral annotations with just one click, instead of having to manually remove each annotation one by one.

Reset spectrometer

Use can use the Reset Spectrometer tool to move internal components back to the default position and more easily return to an ideal state.

Time Series Measurements

Identify peaks in Time Series data

Like Mercury GC in OMNIC software, the Identify Time Series Peaks search in OMNIC Paradigm software helps you identify materials at different points in your time series measurements.

With the new report template, you can save and print your Identify Time Series Peaks search results.

Post-processing atmospheric suppression for Time Series measurements

You can now apply atmospheric suppression to time series data after the measurement. Previously, you had to apply the correction during the measurement.

Workflows and Packages

Sub Workflow tile

With the Sub Workflow tile, you can run another workflow as part of your main workflow, and you can send and receive specific data between them.

Use Workflow variables in the name of template reports

Use a variable in the name of a template replate in your workflows to keep your reports organized and easy to find.

Microscopy

The live spectrum view displays the signal min/max

Now you can see the signal maximum and minimum values in the live spectra view.

The software can detect if the microscope is no longer connected (unplugged or turned off)

Previously, the software might not recognize if you suddenly lost connection to the microscope.

Can close the session from the close session dialog

We added a close button to the Close Session dialog to make it easier to end your session.

Resolved Issues

Time Series Measurements

Now you can import TGA files from Mettler Toledo instruments

Before, you could only import TGA files from TA Instruments products.

Microscopy

The mosaic opacity image slider now works correctly with 4x and 15x mosaic images.

The slider was not correctly blending these different mosaic images, but now it works correctly.

Before, the software would sometimes show error messages related to the microscope even when the microscope was not in use as your active sampling location.

Corrected an issue causing missed scans

During the measurement, stage movement would occasionally cause missed scans in line and area regions. We have introduced some changes to prevent these missed scans.

Known issues

General Features

You must prepare your database before restoring a backup created in v2.2 or earlier

If you are using the default database and have a backup created in OMNIC Paradigm v2.2 or earlier, you must prepare your database before you can restore the backup. See �Preparing to restore database backups from earlier versions of OMNIC Paradigm� at https://knowledge1.thermofisher.com for instructions.

Selecting Single Beam as your final format can prevent some navigation

If you have your Final Format set to Single Beam, you may see an error indicating that navigation is blocked when you try to view Search Setup or QCheck setup. In the Touchscreen view, you may be blocked from navigating to some other tabs. This is expected because this format is not compatible with those features, but the message and navigation errors are incorrect. Change your final format to another option to use these features.

Microscopy

After canceling a mosaic on the 96 well plate it never switches to the 15x to autofocus

When you cancel the mosaic capture, the system should switch automatically to the 15x objective and begin autofocus. When you are capturing a 96-well plate mosaic, the system does not do this and you must switch manually in the software and then bring your sample into focus.

OMNIC Paradigm v2.3

Release Date: April 2023

Supported Operating Systems: Windows 11 64-bit; Windows 10 64-bit

Before upgrading to version 2.3

Back up your database before upgrading

If you are using the default MariaDB database, back up your database using the Database Backup tool in the software before upgrading. Version 2.3 of OMNIC Paradigm software upgrades the version of MariaDB, so you should have a backup available in case you have any problems with this upgrade and need to recover your data.

If the installation fails during the Instrument Support step, select Yes to cancel the remainder of the installation. Return to the beginning and attempt to install the software again. This should resolve the issue. If it does not, contact technical support or your sales representative.

New features in OMNIC Paradigm software

Import qualification standards

With the new qualification standards tool, you can import DST and QDF standards files and track expiration dates, serial numbers, and more conveniently in the software.

Straight line

Use the straight line tool in the Processing menu to replace a region of the spectrum with a straight line. As with Blank Region, this is useful for removing unwanted features of your spectrum.

Post-processing atmospheric correction

With single measurements, you can now apply atmospheric correction after the measurement is complete. Before, you could only apply the correction before measuring data.

Add many spectra to a library at once

You can now add many spectra to a custom library at once. Before, spectra could only be added one at a time.

NIR Sample compartment qualification workflows

The software now features PHEUR and PV qualification workflows for the NIR Module.

Resolved Issues

Database backups were taking up extra disk space

In previous versions of the software, backing up the database would create extra, duplicate files rather than overwriting the existing backup files. These duplicates could be very large files that would eventually fill your disk space. This is now fixed so that when you back up your database, the new data replaces the old data rather than creating extra files.

Reports now show signatures when you are using Security Suite software

Reports now show digital signatures used with Security Suite software.

The lightbar on Summit spectrometers connected with by USB was not responsive

The Lightbar was not responsive to commands from the software if the instrument was connected with USB. The Lightbar now works correctly over USB.

Changes made to library reader to account for older libraries with different data structures

Some older libraries used in OMNIC had a different data structure that was not supported in OMNIC Paradigm software. We have corrected this issue so that these libraries can now be used.

Added username to reports

The windows account username is included in the reports generated in the software.

We fixed a bug in Advanced Spectral Math

A bug in Advanced Spectral Math prevented you from calculating A/B. This worked in regular spectral math but not Advanced Spectral Math. This has been fixed.

New features and resolved issues for FTIR Microscopy

New features

Measure Time Series data

Now you can measure Time Series data. With a Time Series analysis, you can measure a series of data to identify and analyze change over time, such as in a TGA or GC analysis.

Identify components in time series data

Use Search in your Time Series analysis to identify components in your data. This search is similar to Mercury TGA in OMNIC software and uses MCR and multi-component search to show you what components appeared during your analysis and when they were present.

Import TGA data

If you are measuring TGA data on a TA Instruments analyzer, you can import a TGA file to add weight, temperature, and derivative weight to your profiles.

Single point measure on demand

Added the ability to measure a spectrum at any time and add it to the dashboard. A button was added to the Live Spectrum view that will start a single point collect. The resulting spectrum can be found on the dashboard in the �Measurements� section.

Backgrounds are now placed at the reticle when the background tool is selected

When the background tool is selected, a background point is automatically placed in the center of the field of view. This allows the user to quickly select a background they have found before they touch the background tool.

Added "return to mosaic" option when using the slide holder reference background location

When using the fixed background reference location, an option has been added to the right hand menu that returns the stage to the center of the initial mosaic.

Support for other objectives

Added support for 10x and 40x optical objectives as well as a Grazing Angle objective, and Diamond ATR.

Resolved issues

Enable "measure background once" for points.

With �measure background once� selected on the dashboard, after an initial measurement, any subsequent point measurements no longer trigger a new background to be measured.

Improvements to stage control

Improvements have been made to address occasional stage timeouts.

No duplicate request to sign when renaming session

When renaming a Session file with Security Suite software, a duplicate request to sign the file has been removed.

RaptIR error states no longer reported until RaptIR beampath is selected

Camera, stage, and other RaptIR specific error or status dialogs are no longer checked until the RaptIR beampath is selected.

Imported sessions displayed correctly

Fixed situation where imported sessions may not be displayed. Note: large session files still take time to import and will not appear until that import has completed.

Known Issues

Cannot apply atmospheric suppression on Time Series and microscopy session measurements after data measurement

Currently, you can apply atmospheric suppression from the Processing menu to single measurements after they are measured. However, you cannot use this feature with measurements that you collected as part of a Time Series measurement or from a microscopy session. These measurements record a different set of data and do not have the information required for atmospheric suppression. Note that you can use atmospheric suppression during these measurements. You just cannot apply it after the measurement is complete.

OMNIC Paradigm v2.2

Release Date: September 2022

Supported Operating Systems: Windows 10 64-bit

New features in OMNIC Paradigm software

Time-Series Analysis

In version 2.2, OMNIC Paradigm software introduces Time-Series analysis. Time-Series analysis is useful for exploring how sample measurements change over time. For example, you can open a collection of standard measurements to see if your measurements remain consistent throughout a given week or month, helping you identify trends in your data. In version 2.2, you can analyze data in Time Series but you cannot yet collect data directly as a Time-Series Analysis.

Offset scale

Use Offset Scale in the Spectra view to offset your spectra somewhat in an overlay view. Offset scale can help you visually compare peaks.

New features for FTIR microscopy

The Live Spectrum control has been moved from the camera view to the toolbar.

The Live Spectrum control is now in the toolbar and easier to access. When you�re using an IR capable objective, use the Live Spectrum control to toggle the live view of the spectrum.

Resolved Issues

Historical results table in workflows

The historical results table in workflows was not correctly showing all results. This is now fixed.

Session files are now backed up and restored when you back up or restore the database

Known Issues

Display scale resets to Full XY Scale after exiting zoom

Previously, only the portion of the session data that was saved in the database was backed up. Now, the entire session is backed up and restored when you back up and restore your database. In the spectra view, the display resets to Full XY Scale after zooming in on a portion of the spectrum.

OMNIC Paradigm v2.1

Release Date: July 2022

Supported Operating Systems: Windows 10 64-bit

New features in OMNIC Paradigm software

Contaminant analysis: Identify contaminants in your sample

Use Contaminant Analysis to quickly identify and quantify potential contaminants in your sample. You provide a known material, and OMNIC Paradigm tells you what potential contaminants are in your sample.

Data smoothing: Reduce noise in your spectra with data smoothing

Use Smooth in the Processing menu to reduce noise in your spectra. Apply either automatic smoothing for fast improvements or fine-tune the smoothing by adjusting how the Savitsky-Golay algorithm is applied.

Normalize: Make comparison simple by normalizing the scale of spectra

You can now change the Y-axis scale of spectra to a "normal" scale, in which the Y values of the data points range from 0 absorbance units for the lowest point to 1 absorbance unit for the hightest peak or from 10% to 100% transmittance. These normal scales are typical of spectra in commercial libraries.

Clean Up Database: Keep your records tidy with the database cleanup tool

With the new database cleanup tool, you can automatically delete old measurements when they reach a preset age.

Search setup shows the current spectrum

If you open the Search Setup from the Spectral view, the region selection now shows your currently selected spectrum instead of the default example spectrum, making it easier to specify regions around peaks in your specific spectrum.

Filter records by signature status (with Security Suite software)

If you are using Security Suite software, you can now use the Signature filter to find records based on their signature status. For example, you can now quickly find all your records that need to be approved and approve them all at once.

Print the system status

Now you can print your system status from the System Status dialog.

New features for FTIR microscopy

Polarizers are enabled

If your Nicolet RaptIR FTIR microscope includes the optional polarizers, you can now control the visible and IR polarizers in the software.

QNT methods can be used as a profile type

You can now use a quant method created in TQ Analyst software as your chemical image profile in FTIR microscopy. The quant profile can be applied only after collecting data.

Automatically move the stage to a background reference position

When using the RaptIR sample holder, you can automatically move the stage to the built-in reference location for easier background collection.

Switch between three objectives

If you have three objectives installed, you can now easily cycle between them or choose a specific objective.

Additive mosaics

Move the stage and collect a new mosaic (high or low magnification) and add it to your mosaic sky view. Makes it easier to example a large area of your sample or to focus on a new portion of the sample.

Analyze MAP files from OMNIC software

Open .map files created in OMNIC software and automatically convert them to a .session file that you can explore in OMNIC Paradigm software.

Import / Export RaptIR Settings

Now you can export and import your saved settings used with the Nicolet RaptIR FTIR microscope, just as you could for spectroscopy settings.

Delete sessions to clear space on your system

Previously, you could not delete a session. Now you can right-click a session on the dashboard and delete it.

View the exact stage position

In the microscopy session view, you can now see the exact X, Y, and Z stage position.

Resolved Issues

Workflow editor: Sample prompt screen was not able to display a PDF

Previously, if you added a PDF to the Sample Prompt screen in a Measure workflow tile, the PDF would not be saved with the prompt and could not be displayed. Now the PDF is correctly attached to the Sample Prompt.

Workflows: The Equation tile and Variable tile would break if you copied or renamed a workflow

Variables that used the workflow name were not updated if you copied or renamed the workflow, which caused the tiles to break. Now the variables are automatically renamed to match the updated workflow name.

If you created workflows in earlier versions of the software, you need to update your Equation and Variables tiles manually before the variable can be renamed automatically. To update the tiles, open them and replace any variables so that they use the new workflow name. Then close the tile and save the workflow.

When you have an accessory installed, the Settings list on the dashboard shows only the settings that were created with the matching accessory.

Previously, the list showed all settings, including those that were created for a different accessory and not useable by the accessory you have installed. Now the system only lists settings that were created for the currently installed accessory.

We repaired Restore Database, so you can once again restore from a previously backed up database.

With the 2.0 version of OMNIC Paradigm software, you could back up your database but not restore it. Now, Restore Database is once again working correctly.

Known Issues

The database backup tool backs up only a portion of session data.

Session data contains two parts: a portion of the session is stored in the database and a portion of the session is saved in files on the disk drive. The database back up tool in OMNIC Paradigm software backs up only the data stored in the database. To ensure you can restore your data, you must use a backup utility program to back up the files stored in the following directory:

C:\Users\Public\Documents\thermo scientific\omnic paradigm\Sessions

The polarizer cannot be used to measure lines, only areas and points.

Currently, the polarizer can be used to measure areas and points, but not lines. If you draw a line and then enable the polarizer, the line will be measured with the polarizer at only the fixed, starting position.

ATR settings must be adjusted and saved for each new session

Currently, every time you start a new microscopy session using ATR analysis, you must open the ATR Contact dialog, change the settings, and then save the changes.

RaptIR qualification workflows may fail if the polarizers are in the beam path

If your microscope has the optional polarizers, make sure they are moved out of the beam path before you run the qualification workflows. If they are left in the beam path, the data will be poor and the tests may fail.

A new background measurement is collected before measuring points

When measuring points, a new background measurement is always collected before measuring any points, even if you accepted and collected a background measurement manually. The correct location is used, but the system performs an extra step.

Returning to the dashboard returns the visual polarizer to the default settings

If you return the dashboard during your microscopy session, the visual polarizer settings are returned to their default position.

OMNIC Paradigm v2.0

Release Date: February 2022

Supported Operating Systems: Windows 10 64-bit

New Features

New FTIR microscopy tools and support for Nicolet RaptIR FTIR Microscope

OMNIC Paradigm software now includes a new interface and set of tools for FTIR microscopy with the Nicolet RaptIR FTIR Microscope.

Support for Nicolet iS50 spectrometer and common sampling accessories

You can now use OMNIC Paradigm software to configure and run the Nicolet iS50 spectrometer and sampling accessories. Supported accessories include the built-in ATR module, the Smart iTR, the Smart Diffuse Reflectance, the Smart NIR Integrating Sphere, the Smart Golden Gate, the Smart iTX, the Smart ARK, Smart OMNI-Sampler, Smart SAGA, and the Smart OMNI-Transmission.

Better multi-tasking with tabs

The spectra and session views support a tabbed view, so you can open measurements in separate tabs.

Workflow enhancements

The Measure tile in Workflows now includes more instrument and measurement settings, including gain, aperture, sample spacing, and zero fill.

Resolved Issues

Operator view: Workflows report that a workflow is already running

When using the Operator view, if you tried to start a workflow, the system would sometimes show that a workflow was already running in the background.

Optical Resolution tests failing in CP, JP, and Factory Qualification workflows

"A change was made to the Optical Resolution tests in the �Nicolet FTIR - CP Qualification�, �Nicolet FTIR - JP Qualification� and �Nicolet FTIR - Factory Qualification� workflows. This change makes the measurement immune to baseline shifts caused by variations in the finish of the Polystyrene standard.� This improvement to the measurement is consistent with the approach used in OMNIC ValPro tests.� Customers upgrading from OMNIC Paradigm v1.9 will observe larger reported values for these tests after upgrading to OMNIC Paradigm v2.0.� This is expected.� All previous results are valid.� This change is just an improvement to the measurement."

Known Issues

Measurements collected in a workflow may show an invalid signature

Occasionally, when measuring and signing data in a workflow, the signature event may incorrectly occur and be saved before the measurement event. This can happen because all measurement data is stored at once, rather than in a specific, predefined order. If this happens and the data is saved out of order, the measurement shows an invalid signature since it appears that the data was changed after it was signed.

When collecting very large maps, the computer may enter power saving mode and suspend the USB devices

If you are collecting large maps, such as large area maps, the computer may enter a power saving mode and suspend the USB devices, interrupting the collection and disconnecting the mouse and keyboard. To ensure that the collection finishes, disable �USB selective suspend� settings in the Windows power options.

Cannot access QCheck Setup in the Touchscreen interface

When viewing a spectrum in the Touchscreen interface, the menu item for QCheck Setup appears enabled but does not open the setup screen. To edit your QCheck settings, select QCheck from the Home screen.

OMNIC Paradigm 1.9 HF2

Release Date: October 2021

Supported Operating Systems: Windows 10 64-bit

Resolved Issues

Improved services for distributed installations of OMNIC Paradigm software with Security Suite software

Modified service startup logic for the IR Instrument Engine to ensure that the service responds to the Windows service control manager in a timely manner.

OMNIC Paradigm v1.9 HF1

Release Date: October 2021

Supported Operating Systems: Windows 10 64-bit

Resolved Issues

Workflows were returning incorrect results on systems using certain language settings

In version 1.9, if you were running your system using languages that use the comma as a decimal separator, workflows would return incorrect results.

OMNIC Paradigm v1.9

Release Date: October 2021

Supported Operating Systems: Windows 10 64-bit

New Features

Use Reprocess in the Process menu to transform the original interferogram data for your spectrum with new settings

With Reprocess, you can transform your original data to better match library or other reference spectra, giving you a more accurate comparison.

With Blank Regions in the Process menu, you can clear unwanted data from your spectrum

Blanking a region is useful when your spectrum contains unwanted noise that would otherwise interfere with your analysis. Use Blank Regions to clear, or delete, a region of the spectrum. Blank Regions is also available in the Processing tile in Workflows.

You can now calculate average and standard deviations of spectra using the Statistical Spectra tool in the Process menu

With Statistical Spectra, you can generate new spectra that represent the average or standard deviation of 2 or more spectra. You can also use Statistical Spectra in the Processing tile in Workflows.

Add custom logos to reports and template reports

Go to Configure > Options to use your own company logo in reports and template reports. Your logo replaces the default Thermo Scientific logo on any custom reports you create and any template reports created in a workflow.

Workflow enhancements

Find Peaks, Blank Regions, and Statistical Spectra are now all available in workflows.

Enhanced system status information

The system status information has been updated to provide more accurate information. New icons indicate if your system is using security or not, clearer messages describe connection status, and updated messages help you troubleshoot any potential issues.

Thermo Scientific Web API Server requires inbound connections on TCP Port 9004

The new Thermo Scientific Web API Server is required for instrument connections. Make sure your firewall settings allow inbound connections over TCP Port 9004 on Private, Public, and Domain profiles.

Resolved Issues

Spectra in workflows are automatically deresolved to match quantification methods

Previously, in a workflow, if the resolution of your spectrum did not match the data in a quantification method, the method would fail. Now, the resolution of the spectrum is automatically lowered, or deresolved, to match the quantification method.

Known Issues

You cannot reprocess older sample measurements that were collected in a workflow

In OMNIC Paradigm software versions 1.8 and earlier, any sample measurements collected in a workflow stored interferograms incorrectly. Reprocessing these measurements will result in incorrect results. Measurements that you collect in version 1.9 and later can be reprocessed correctly.

When installing OMNIC Paradigm with Security Service pack, the installer incorrectly attempts to install Audit Manager software on the client

To install Paradigm with Security Service Pack on a distributed installation, run Start.exe on DVD 1 on the server. When prompted, select �initial installation.� On the client, go to Apps and Features and uninstall Audit Log Service, if it is present. Then, run Start.exe on DVD 1. When prompted, select �Subsequent Instruments.� When DVD 1 is complete, run Start.exe on DVD 2.

OMNIC Paradigm v1.8

Release Date: June 2021

Supported Operating Systems: Windows 10 64-bit

New Features

Support for more Quantification Methods

Now you can use five more quantification methods in OMNIC Paradigm software, including �

The handles to adjust your selection with Find Peak were too small

We increased the size of the handles to adjust the Find Peak region so that they are easier to use.

Default file path changed from Schema to Paradigm

Previously, packages and workflows used a default file path that included the word Schema. We have updated this to say Paradigm instead. The update does not affect any current data and the system will continue to use your current file location.

There was not a notification when the database became disconnected

If the database became disconnected while you were collecting data, there was no notification letting you know that your data was not being saved. Now, a notification alerts you that you need to restore the database connection. In Operator mode, you are prevented from running a workflow while the database is disconnected.

Known Issues

You cannot define custom colors to use with annotation tools

You can choose colors to use with annotation tools, but you cannot currently specify your own color. The Define Custom Color tools are disabled.

Align and Calibrate tools are incorrectly disabled
