Press Enter. This will display the box labeled Serial#.

Letters and numbers are created using the up and down arrows. Into the box labeled Serial#, enter the 10-character serial number for the quaternary pump. When the 10-character serial number is entered, press Enter to highlight the complete serial number. Then, press Done (F6).

For firmware revisions below A02.00 it is very important never to press Done if the Serial# box is blank. In this case, the module can no longer be recognized by either the control module or the ChemStation. The main board must then be replaced.

Turn the quaternary pump off, then on again. The Records screen should display the correct serial number.

If a ChemStation is also connected, re-boot the ChemStation now as well.

Entering the Serial Number using the ChemStation

Module serial numbers are entered by typing specific commands into the command line at the bottom of the main user interface screen.

To enter a module serial number, type the following command into the command line:

print sendmodule$(lpmp, "ser YYYYYYYYYY")

Where: YYYYYYYYYY is the 10-character serial number of the quaternary pump

The first two characters are letters, which should be capitalized.

The reply line will respond with RA 0000 SER followed by the module serial number you just entered.

Turn off the quaternary pump, then on again. Then, re-boot the ChemStation. If the serial number you have just entered is different than the original module serial number, you will be given the opportunity to edit the configure 1100 access screen during the re-boot of the ChemStation.

After boot-up, the serial number you have just entered can be seen under the Instrument menu of the main user interface screen. The serial number of the quaternary pump can also be seen by typing the following command into the command line:
