Repairing the Autosampler
ASM Board
Entering the Serial Number using the ChemStation
Module serial numbers are entered by typing specific commands into the
command line at the bottom of the main user interface screen.
1 To enter a module serial number, type the following command into the
command line:
print sendmodule$(lals, "ser YYYYYYYYYY")
Where: YYYYYYYYYY is the 10-character serial number of the module in
question.
NOTE The first two characters are letters, which should be capitalized.
The reply line will respond with RA 0000 SER followed by the module serial
number you just entered.
2 Turn off the autosampler, then on again. Then, re-boot the ChemStation. If the
serial number you have just entered is different than the original module serial
number, you will be given the opportunity to edit the configure Agilent 1100
access screen during the re-boot of the ChemStation.
3 After boot-up, the serial number you have just entered can be seen under the
Instrument menu of the main user interface screen. The serial number of the
autosampler can also be seen by typing the following command into the
command line:
print sendmodule$(lals, "ser?")
The reply line will give the module serial number.
