    We are still running Empower 2, but we have that problem all the time as well.  The only work around we have found is to go to the configuration manager and take the instrument offline and then back online.  Then when you go back to run samples the setup button is enabled again.

    It's not unique to Empower 3. We see the same thing (Setup control inactive) in Empower 2 if the sample set has a shutdown method and the fix I've found was to run a condition line as you noted.

    We are working with Waters 2695 HPLC and if you push "Stop flow" button on the chromatograph panel, Empower software"Setup" button becomes available.

    I hope this help you.
