1 Installing the GC
54 Installation and First Startup
Step 19 Configure Headspace Communications
The 7697 headspace sampler can be configured to communicate with the connected GC. This
feature requires a HS with firmware A.01.06 (or greater). With communications configured, the
HS knows GC method timings and programs, and can synchronize with the GC clock and
follow the GC instrument schedule.
To configure GC-HS communications:
1 Select Settings > Configuration > Headspace.
2 Use this page to enter details for, and control, the headspace sampler.
3 Select Apply. The entered changes are saved to the GC.
If communications fails, check the IP addresses. Verify that the GC's IP address is correct in
the headspace sampler, and that the headspace sampler's IP address is correct in the GC. Also
check that both instruments are turned on and connected to the LAN. Verify all LAN cable
connections.
After GC installation, complete HS configuration. Refer to the HS control software help and the
HS manuals for information on the configuration options.
