APG Remote Interface

The APG Remote connector may be used in combination with other analytical instruments from Agilent Technologies if you want to use features as common shut down, prepare, and so on.

Remote control allows easy connection between single instruments or systems to ensure coordinated analysis with simple coupling requirements.

The subminiature D connector is used. The quaternary pump provides one remote connector which is inputs/outputs (wired-or technique).

To provide maximum safety within a distributed analysis system, one line is dedicated to SHUT DOWN the system’s critical parts in case any module detects a serious problem. To detect whether all participating modules are switched on or properly powered, one line is defined to summarize the POWER ON state of all connected modules. Control of analysis is maintained by signal readiness READY for next analysis, followed by START of run and optional STOP of run triggered on the respective lines. In addition PREPARE and START REQUEST may be issued. The signal level are defined as:

•standard TTL levels (low = 0.0 - 0.8 V, high = +2.0 - 5.0 V)

•fan-out is 10,

•input load is 1.7 kOhm against + 5 V, and

•output are open collector type, inputs/outputs (wired-or technique).

RS-232C

The RS-232C connector is used to control the instrument from a computer through RS-232C connection, using the appropriate software . This connector can be configured with the configuration switch module next to the GPIB
