4.0 OPERATION FROM LOCAL KEYPAD AND DISPLAY
You have at least one, and optionally two, user interfaces from which to operate the gas
chromatograph (GC) system:
PC connected to the GC and running the software program MON2000 - This user interface
offers the greatest amount of capability and flexibility. (For instructions, see the MON2000
Software for Gas Chromatographs User Manual, P/N 3-9000-522).
or
The GC Controller’s built-in keypad and Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) - This offers only
essential startup and operation functions, but is useful in a hazardous environment or if no
PC is available. (See Figure 4-1.)
When the unit has the COM4A Board installed, COM8 is used for the display/keyboard.
However, if the unit does not have the COM4A Board installed, the display/keyboard uses
COM4 and it must be RS-232. Therefore, there is no COM4 output on the Field Termination
Board.
The built-in keypad and LCD are offered as options for all standalone units of the GC
Controller, except for the portable Compact BTU GC System.
