1 Introduction to Your System
Agilent 8453 Spectrophotometer — Overview
Rear View
All connections are made at the rear of the spectrophotometer, see Figure 3.
• The multicell connector allows you to connect a multicell transport.
• The GPIO (general-purpose input/output) connector allow you to control a
sipper and autosampler or other accessories depending on the software you
are using.
• The remote connector is currently not used by Agilent instrument control
software. It can be used e.g. to synchronize instruments.
• The RS232C connector may be used to control the spectrophotometer from
a computer through RS232 connection, using appropriate software. The
Multiple Instrument Firmware Tool provided can be used with RS232
communication. The UV-visible ChemStation software currently supports
LAN and GPIB communication only.
