Configuring the Autosampler for Contact Closure

The Agilent 1100 Series devices query the PC for the stack IP address only during their start up procedure. Therefore, complete the following procedure, and ensure that the Xcalibur Home Page window is open before you turn on the Agilent 1100 Series devices.

YTo assign contact closure control to the Agilent 1100 Series autosampler

1.Choose Start > All Programs > Xcalibur > Instrument Configuration. The Instrument Configuration dialog box appears.

2.Scroll through the Available Devices area and double-click the Agilent 1100 AS button.

The Agilent 1100 AS button is copied to the Configured Devices area and is displayed as a Configured Devices button.

3.Double-click the Agilent 1100 AS button in the Configured Devices area. The Agilent 1100 Autosampler dialog box appears.

4.Click the General tab.

The General page appears. See Figure 6

5.In the General page, make the appropriate selections:

•Select the Contact Board Installed check box.

Note If you do not select the Contact Board Installed check box, the Timed

Events page does not appear in the Instrument Setup view for the autosampler.

•In the Stack MAC address box, type the media access control address for your Agilent LC stack.

The stack MAC address is a unique identification for each network card. The manufacturer usually stamps it on the network card.

Note The TCP/IP settings are shared by all Agilent 100 LC modules in the stack. Changing the value of a setting for one module in the Instrument Configuration dialog box changes the value of that setting for all modules in the stack.
