Browser Interface
The Browser Interface provides many of the same functions as the touchscreen.The Browser
Interface provides for instrument setup and control, as well as the ability to run the instrument
stand-alone (without a connected data system). The Browser Interface can be viewed using
any typical web browsing device, such as a computer or tablet, provided the device is
connected to the same gateway as the GC. Use the Browser Interface to:
• Create methods
• Run samples and sequences of samples
• Run diagnostic tests
• Check status and performance of the GC
• Perform maintenance procedures
• Check maintenance details and reset counters
• Change language settings
• Access on-line help
To connect to the Browser Interface:
1 On a a tablet or computer connected to the same gateway as the GC, open a browser
window.
2 Navigate to http://GC Name or IP Address. For example, if the GC IP address is 10.1.1.100,
navigate to http://10.1.1.100.
3 If prompted, enter the access code. (The access code is available at the GC touchscreen.)
For more information regarding the Browser Interface, see “Browser Interface”.
When a data system is controlling the GC, setpoint changes and other features may be
disabled in the Browser Interface. If multiple users connect to a GC using the Browser
Interface, only the first connection has normal control.
Data System
The data system adapter provided with Agilent data systems, such as OpenLAB CDS, provides
full control of the GC for creating methods, running samples, and so forth. Use the data system
to:
• Create methods
• Run samples and sequences of samples
• Monitor GC and run status
• Monitor system health
• Track consumables usage and usable life remaining
• Make some system settings
• View system logs
• Set GC clock table and resource conservation events
