Usb Port; Analog Outputs (Optional); Fluid Connections - Thermo Scientific Dionex UltiMate 3000 Series Operating Instructions Manual

2.6.3 USB Port

The Chromeleon Chromatography Management System uses a USB connection to control
the detector. Data is transferred digitally via the appropriate USB cable (→ page 32). The
PC must be equipped with a USB port. To ensure trouble-free operation, use only the
cables shipped with the detector.
For information about how to connect the detector to the Chromeleon computer, see
sections 3.4.1 and 3.4.2 (→ page 32).

2.6.4 Analog Outputs (Optional)

If the optional DAC plug-in module (part no. 6078.0305) is installed, two analog outputs
with a resolution of 20 bits each are provided. The outputs can be connected to additional
evaluation devices. The analog output voltages are updated with the data rate selected in
Chromeleon (Data Collection Rate), however, not exceeding a maximum data rate of
50 Hz. For information about how to install the board, see page 34. For configuration
details, see page 36.

2.7 Fluid Connections

The detector is designed to provide easy access to the fluid components. Tilt the front
cover downward. At dedicated positions in the front part of the enclosure, six slots are
provided for the capillaries: on the top and bottom of the enclosure (two slots each), and on
the left and right side of the enclosure (one slot each) (→ Fig. 4, page 20).
Capillary guides on the bottom slots facilitate routing the capillaries to devices that are located
underneath the detector in the UltiMate 3000 system stack.
When closing the front panel door, avoid bending the capillaries and make sure that they are
routed to the outside through these slots.
Tip: The volume between the column and the flow cell should be as low as possible
to avoid peak broadening effects and the accompanying loss of
chromatographic efficiency. Preferably use Viper capillaries to prevent dead
volume.
