B.5 Setting Up Chromeleon or Chromeleon Xpress for
Simultaneous Injections
B.5.1 Assigning Unique Names to Devices
NOTE If the AS will be connected to a dual ICS-3000 system,
you may skip this section. The Chromeleon Server
Configuration program automatically assigns unique
names to each device in a dual ICS-3000.
When you add a device to a timebase, the Chromeleon Server
Configuration program assigns a default name to the device. For example,
Pump for an analytical pump, ECD for a conductivity detector,
Pump_ECD for a combined pump and detector, and Sampler for an
autosampler. In addition, other components (relays, TTLs, injection
valves, etc.) are assigned device names also.
If you assign multiple devices of the same type to a timebase, you must
edit the device names to ensure that each one is unique. The Chromeleon
Audit Trail displays error messages that identify duplicate device names
in a timebase, for example:
11:45:59 The symbol "Pump_ECD" already exists.
NOTE Chromeleon automatically assigns unique names to
the two injection valves in the AS.
To rename a device, open the device Properties dialog box by double-
clicking the device in the timebase. The General tab page displays the
device name. In the Device Name edit box, add _2 to the existing name.
