Introduction to the Quaternary Pump

Setting the 8-bit Configuration Switch

In the non-volatile memory the parameters are kept, regardless of whether you turn the instrument off and on again. They will be kept until the same set of parameters is subsequently changed and power is reset. All other previously stored configuration settings will still remain in the non-volatile memory.

In this way you can store more than one set of parameters using the same 8-bit configuration switch twice,, for example, for both GPIB and RS-232C.

GPIB Default Addresses

If you just want to change the GPIB address and need a detailed procedure, refer to the Installing Your ChemStation System handbook. Default GPIB address is set to the following addresses::
