Using PAL Object Manager to Change Your System Configuration

Thermo Scientific
If you cannot establish serial communication with the PAL Object Manager software, check
the following questions:
• Has the original RS232 cable been used, as provided with Accela Open Autosampler?
(The PAL RS232 cable has a crossed wiring connection.)
P/N 00950-01-00332 (3 m length) or P/N 00950-01-00333 (6 m length).
• Is the COM port on the computer available and correctly addressed?
• Are default settings verified?
• Is the COM port setting in the PAL Object Manager software correct?
If not, the message shown in
Figure 100. Wrong COM Port selected
These types of problems are seen mostly when a USB/Serial port is used to overcome the
lack of a serial interface, as in today's laptop computers.
Note These two limitations surrounding the COM port setting are valid for the
previous Object Manager software, Version 2.1.0. With the release of the new Version
2.2.x these problems are eliminated. The software scans for the available COM ports,
the error message as shown in
If no RS232 (serial) port is available on the computer, use a USB/Serial converter.

Manager.
