Connecting the Spectrophotometer to the PC
This section describes how to setup the connection between your
instrument(s), and the PC. If you are going to connect to an existing LAN,
please contact your system administrator for further assistance.
Single Instrument Installation
In a single instrument installation, only one UV-Visible spectrophotometer
is connected to the PC’s LAN interface. In this configuration, only the
black 10 ft. long crossover twisted pair cable (part number 5183- 4649)
can be used. This is supplied with the Agilent UV-Visible ChemStation
software.
Multiple Instrument Installation
If you want to connect more than one spectrophotometer to the
Agilent ChemStation PC or if the PC needs to connect to a network using
the same network connection, a switch (for example the G2402A 8 port
switch) is required. The G2402A switch comes with one standard
EtherTwist 10BaseT cable that is used for the connection to the PC. Use
the standard EtherTwist 10BaseT cable (part number G1530- 61485)
provided with the LAN interface cards to connect the switch to the
spectrophotometer.
Do not use the standard (non-crossover) Ethertwist 10BaseT cable supplied with the LAN
interface card G1846A for direct single instrument connection.
Do not use the black 10 ft. long crossover twisted pair cable (part number 5183-4649) in an
installation with multiple instruments.
