2.2 Configuring the Separations Module
Before you can operate the Separations Module, you need to configure the Separations
Module for stand-alone or remote control and for a variety of other operating parameters.
No Interaction Mode
In this standalone mode, the Separations Module is not connected to the IEEE-488
interface bus. The Separations Module controls other non-IEEE devices in the HPLC
system using the I/O connections on the rear panel. Refer to the
Waters 2690 Separations
Module Operator’s Guide
, Section 2.7.1, I/O Signal Connections, for the procedure to
make I/O connections. Use this mode if you want to suspend communication with a
connected Millennium Chromatography Manager workstation and operate the Separations
Module and the other HPLC system components from their front panels.

Tunable Absorbance Detectors) and one RI detector channel (Waters 2410 or 410
Differential Refractometer). You can also control other HPLC modules using the I/O
connections.
