Options and accessories
The separations module can communicate with Empower software via
Ethernet or via the IEEE-488 interface bus (but not both simultaneously). Use
Empower software to create instrument methods and method sets to control
the separations module and other HPLC system components. See the
Empower software documentation for more information on creating
instrument methods and method sets.
MassLynx control
When you control the separations module with MassLynx Mass Spectrometry
Software, you use the MassLynx inlet editor to define operating parameters
for the separations module and detector(s)—but not the mass
spectrometer—used in the LC/MS system. See the MassLynx software
documentation for more information on controlling the separations module.
RS-232 control
To set parameters that remotely control the separations module from a data
system that uses RS-232 (ASCII or binary) communications, refer to the
documentation that comes with the data system.
Operate Gradient by Event In control
In Operate Gradient by Event In mode, the separations module is connected to
an external autosampler (a Waters 2700 Sample Manager, for example). In
this mode, the separations module provides gradient functionality, and the
external autosampler provides the sampling/injection functionality. The
external autosampler, which is connected to the I/O signal connector on the
separations module's rear panel, signals the solvent management system to
begin a gradient.
Options and accessories
Various options for the separations module are available to suit your
applications and site requirements. You can display a list of the hardware
options currently installed in your separations module by pressing the
Configuration screen's Options key. See
"Configure the separations module"
on page 91
for details on displaying the Configure screen.
