Instrument Control - Agilent Technologies 8453 Operator's Manual

Instrument Control

The instrument control capability of the ChemStation may be expanded
through the purchase of additional instrument modules to allow multiple
instrument, mixed technique configurations. For further information, see the
handbook(s) supplied with the additional ChemStation modules.
Networking
The ChemStation is tested and supported with Agilent's LanManager
software, Microsoft Windows XP Professional and Microsoft Windows Vista
Business products based on the IEEE 802.3 CSMA/CD specification. It should
be compatible with any networking software compatible with the
programming standards of Microsoft Windows.
These products enable the ChemStation to share physical devices such as
plotters and printers with other laboratory computers as well as sharing
information such as data files and methods.
Client/Server
The ChemStation software may be installed on a suitable network server and
downloaded onto the client PCs as required. Each client specific configuration
ensures a suitable environment for different techniques and individual users
while the centralized software installation relieves the burden of managing
many copies of the same ChemStation installation in one work environment.
LAN-based instrument control
The ChemStation software provides LAN-based instrument control and data
acquisition for the Agilent 7890 GC, the Agilent 6890 GC, the Agilent 35900E
A/D control module and the Agilent 1100/1200 Series LC. You can easily
control and monitor instruments by connecting them to a LAN on which the
ChemStation PC resides. This arrangement allows the ChemStation PC to be
located remotely from the instruments it controls.
