Agilent 1200 Series Interfaces
APG Remote Interface
The APG Remote connector serves as the interface between the Agilent 1200 
Series and other Agilent (APG remote compatible) products. It may be used in 
combination with other analytical instruments from Agilent Technologies if 
you want to use features as common shut down, prepare, and so on.
Remote control allows easy connection between single instruments or systems 
to ensure coordinated analysis with simple coupling requirements. 
The subminiature D connector is used. The module provides one remote 
connector which is inputs/outputs (wired-or technique).
To provide maximum safety within a distributed analysis system, one line is 
dedicated to SHUT DOWN the system’s critical parts in case any module 
detects a serious problem. To detect whether all participating modules are 
switched on or properly powered, one line is defined to summarize the 
POWER ON state of all connected modules. Control of analysis is maintained 
by signal readiness READY for next analysis, followed by START of run and 
optional STOP of run triggered on the respective lines. In addition PREPARE 
and START REQUEST may be issued. The signal level are defined as:
• standard TTL levels (0 V is logic true, + 5 V is false)
• fan-out is 10,
• input load is 2.2 kOhm against + 5 V, and
• output are open collector type, inputs/outputs (wired-or technique).
