The Agilent HPLC modules and the Instant Pilot have firmware installed that will
be updated from time to time to add new features and/or remove malfunctions.
The firmware of the instrument consists of two independent sections:
• a non- instrument specific section, called resident system,
• an instrument specific section, called main system.
Resident System
• the complete communication capabilities (CAN, LAN, USB and RS- 232C, on
the Instant Pilot only CAN),
• memory management,
• ability to update the firmware of the ‘main system’.
Main System - It's poperties are:
• the complete communication capabilities (CAN, LAN, USB and RS- 232C, on
the Instant Pilot only CAN),

• ability to update the firmware of the resident system.
In addition, the main system comprises the instrument functions that are divided
into common functions like
• synchronization
• error handling,
• diagnostic functions,
• module specific functions
