Connecting External Devices; Apg Remote - Agilent Technologies G1323B User Manual

Connecting External Devices

There are several kinds of interfaces that enable the Agilent 1200 Series
modules to communicate with a range of other output devices. For some of
them extra hardware needs to be installed.
Configuration of selected interface parameters is possible using the Interfaces
button [F1] available from the Configure button [F2] in the System screen. This
is handled individually for each module, since some interfaces are only
available from certain modules (depending on installation).
For further information on interfaces see the corresponding sections in the
modules' reference manuals.

APG Remote

Via the 9-pin APG remote connector (included in all modules) the system can
communicate with external devices in order to synchronize the analyses. This
is necessary when an external device needs some time in order to get ready for
a new analysis and thus transmitting of a start request is required (see also
"Synchronizing Analyses with External Devices"
sequence modes). Detailed descriptions of the APG Remote connector are
available in the modules' reference manuals.
Among the available signals are:
Power On
This signal is active as soon as all modules connected to the system are
switched on.
Shut Down
When the system has a serious problem (e.g. a leak occurs) this alerts all
modules to stop relevant operation in order to reduce safety risks.
