Shimadzu GC17A/GC14C 3 Installation Procedure
3 Installation Procedure
3.1 Shimadzu GC 17A/14C setup - communication
The RS232 "Interface board" from Shimadzu or Opt-USB Adapter from
DataApex must be installed.
The Communication setting is in Function 15
Most of the parameters must correspond with the setting from the
Shimadzu GC-17A/14C Setup dialog.
Current loop protocol must be set to EXTEND.
Baud rate must correspond with the setting in the Shimadzu GC-17A/14C
Setup dialog. Recommended value is 4800.
Communication protocol must be set to OPTICAL LINK, not to RS-232C
(mistake of Shimadzu).
File format must be set 14CH MODE.
Parity must correspond with the setting in the Shimadzu GC- 17A/14C
Setup dialog.
Note: There is a Shimadzu mistake causing that EVEN = NONE and NONE =
EVEN, but we have amended it by swapping the meanings too to provide
corresponding settings.
