• RS-232 communications by non-Waters data systems
• An external autosampler (the Waters 2700 Sample Manager, for
example) with the separations module in the Operate Gradient by Event
In mode
Use the procedures in Chapter 5 to set up the separations module for remote
control.
Supported IEEE-488 and Ethernet configurations
In remote control mode, the separations module can participate in any one of
these supported IEEE-488 and Ethernet configurations:
• Where the separations module and detector(s) both communicate with
the data system via IEEE-488
• Where the separations module and detector(s) both communicate with
the data system via Ethernet
• Where the data system and separations module communicate via
IEEE-488, and include one or more detectors that can only communicate
with the data system via Ethernet (that is, a Waters 2998, 2489, 2475,
2424, e-SAT/IN module-connected, or Mass Spectrometer (for example,
3100) Detector)
Empower control
