Connecting External Devices
Connecting External Devices
There are several kinds of interface that enable the Agilent Series modules to
communicate with a range of other output devices. For some of them, extra
hardware needs to be installed.
Configuration of selected interface parameters is possible and is handled
individually for each module, since some interfaces are only available with certain
modules (depending on installation).
For further information on interfaces see the corresponding sections in the
modules’ user or reference manuals.
APG Remote / Enhanced Remote (Infinity II)
The system can communicate with external devices via APG remote connector
(included in all modules) in order to synchronize the analyses. This is necessary
when an external device needs some time to get ready for a new analysis and
thus the transmission of a start request is required (see also
“Synchronizing
Analyses with External Devices” on page 129 for details on sequence modes).
Detailed descriptions of the APG Remote connector are available in the HPLC
modules’ reference manuals.
Among the available signals are:
Power On
This signal is active as soon as all modules connected to the system are
switched ON.
Shut Down
When the system has a serious problem (e.g. a leak occurs) this alerts all
modules to stop relevant operation in order to reduce safety risks.
Stop
This signal asks all modules to reach the ready state as soon as possible. It
works only during the analytical run (controlled by the stoptime setting) and
causes the system to begin counting down the postrun time.
