shensel Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Hello, When I calculate the CBE with a sample that has alkalinity as ug/L as CaCO3, it gives a different result compared to the same sample with alkalinity as mg/L as CaCO3 (same concentrations). Is this a bug or am I missing something? Example GSS files are attached. Thanks, Scott Hensel CB Test_ug.L.gss CB Test_mg.L.gss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Farrell Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Hi Scott, That looks like a bug in GSS. It looks like GSS isn't including the unit when it prepares input for SpecE8, which does the calculations. As a result, SpecE8 is using the specified number with mg/kg_as_CaCO3 units instead of whatever you specified. Until we can release a fix, you should use the default unit for carbonate alkalinity. Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I apologize for the error. Regards, Brian Farrell Aqueous Solutions LLC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shensel Posted July 7, 2023 Author Share Posted July 7, 2023 Thanks Brian. A quick update: this doesn't always seem to be the case, though I'm not sure why. I've attached GSS examples of the unit change working correctly. I'll still proceed with the default units for now, but maybe this will help your troubleshooting.

Jia Wang Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 Hello Scott, The issue incorrect alkalinity units used for calculating analytes is now fixed in maintenance release 17.0.2. If automatic update is enabled, you should be prompted to update in the next few days when you open the GWB dashboard. You can also manually update by going to check for updates under the "Help" menu of any app or on the Support pane of the GWB dashboard.
