1.2 Overview of the ICS-90
In all major respects, the ICS-90 operating process is similar to the overview of
ion analysis described in Section 1.1
. The ICS-90 is an integrated ion
chromatography system containing a pump, injection valve, and conductivity cell.
Other system components, including a guard column, separator column, and
suppressor, must be ordered separately. These components vary, depending on the
analyses to be performed. System components are described and illustrated in
Section 2.1.3
.
ICS-90 operation is controlled remotely by a personal computer running
Windows
® 2000 and Chromeleon software (version 6.40 or later). Chromeleon is
used for instrument control, data acquisition, and data processing.
For communication between the ICS-90 and Chromeleon, the ICS-90 must be
connected to a USB (Universal Serial Bus) port on the computer or a USB hub.
For installation instructions, see Appendix B and also refer to Installing the
Chromeleon IC System (Document No. 031883).
