*The vacuum degasser will have a special connector for specific use. For details, see the degasser manual.

The CAN connectors serve as the interface between the Agilent 1100 Series modules themselves,

the GPIB connector serves as the interface between an Agilent1100 module and the Agilent ChemStation,

RS-232C provides an interface to a computer,

the APG remote connector serves as the interface between the Agilent 1100 and other Agilent (APG remote compatible) products,

the analog output connector(s) provide an analog signal output,

the interface board slot (not common to all modules) provides specific interfacing needs (external contacts, BCD, LAN and so on).

For identification and location of the connectors see Figure 3 on page 22.
