Data System/Mass Spectrometer/GC Interface

Data System/Local Area Network Interface

Thermo Scientific
These are the major features of the data system computer:
• Intel™ Pentium™, Core™ 2 Duo, or Xeon™ processor
• High-capacity hard disk drive
• Primary Ethernet port (data system to mass spectrometer)
• Secondary Ethernet port (data system to local area network)
• High-performance video graphics card
• CDRW drive
• DVD drive
• 1280 ×1024 resolution color monitor
• Keyboard and mouse
For more information about the computer, refer to the appropriate manuals.
The data system computer contains a 100 base-T Ethernet adapter (called the primary
Ethernet adapter) that is dedicated to data system/mass spectrometer/GC communication.
This primary Ethernet adapter communicates with the mass spectrometer and GC modules
via a 10/100 base-T Ethernet switch. The Ethernet adapter on the mass spectrometer resides
on the System Control PCB. A twisted pair, Ethernet cable connects the primary Ethernet
adapter of the data system to the Ethernet switch, which is connected to the Ethernet
connector on the power panel of the mass spectrometer and to the GC.
The data system computer contains a secondary Ethernet adapter. This secondary Ethernet
adapter is not involved in data system/mass spectrometer or GC communications. You can
use this secondary Ethernet adapter to access your local area network.
