Making signal connections 2-7
Connecting the Ethernet cable
The Waters instrument communicates with the acquisition computer through
the dedicated local area network (LAN). At the acquisition computer, the
instrument network card provides the communications interface.
You must install the instrument control software driver (ICS) in the
acquisition computer so that the computer can control the instrument.
(Consult the software installation instructions that accompany the
instrument control software for details.)
Single Waters instrument connection
In a single Waters instrument system configuration, the connection hardware
