The only manual controls on the Accela PDA Detector are the On/Off switch below the
left-front door of the unit and the manual attenuators and holmium oxide wheel that you
access from the front panel; otherwise the chromatography data systems controls all other
instrument control functions.
To control the detector, you must add it to the instrument configuration for your data system
and specify its stack ID and diode array scan rate. You set the unit ID is set by adjusting the
two rotary switches on the back panel of the detector. The switches are set to 01 at the factory
(see
Figure
21). Do not adjust the switches unless you are controlling more than one Accela
PDA Detector from the same data system computer.

The diode array scan rate is the unfiltered rate at which the PDA detector samples the light
intensities for the diode array. You can set the Accela PDA Detector (80 Hz version) to scan
the array at a 20, 40, or 80 Hz sampling rate.
