Preparing the Separations Module for Operation 11
Controlled by MassLynx Mode
In this remote-control mode, Micromass MassLynx NT software (Version 3.1 Build 004 or
higher) controls the 2690 Separations Module. MassLynx software is used with Micromass
mass spectrometry (MS) detectors, using the IEEE-488 interface between the Micromass
computer and the 2690 Separations Module.
To set the Separations Module to the Controlled by MassLynx mode:
1. Select the
System
field in the Configuration screen, then press
Enter
to display a
list of choices.
2. Select
Controlled by MassLynx
, then press
Enter
. The IEEE 488 Address field
is highlighted.
3. Press
Enter
to display a list of addresses.
4. Select an address that is unused by other chromatographic components connected
to the Micromass computer, then press
Enter
.
5. Press
Exit.
The Separations Module is ready to be controlled from the MassLynx
computer.
Controlled by Millennium 2.xx Mode
In this remote-control mode, a Millennium Chromatography Manager workstation running
Millennium 2.xx software (Windows 3.1) controls the operation of your HPLC system using
the IEEE-488 interface bus.
To set the Separations Module to the Controlled by Millennium 2.xx mode:
1. Select the
System
field in the Configuration screen, then press
Enter
to display a
list of choices.
2. Select
Controlled by Millennium 2.xx
, then press
Enter
. The IEEE 488 Address
field is highlighted.
3. Press
Enter
to display a list of address pairs.
4. Select an address pair that is unused by other chromatographic components
connected to the Millennium Chromatography Manager, then press
Enter
.
5. Press
Exit.
The Separations Module is ready to be controlled from the
Millennium Chromatography Manager workstation.
The Separations Module appears as two devices in the Millennium System view:
•
The solvent and sample management systems
– With an even address.
•
The optional sample heater/cooler
– With an odd address.
