No. Description
5 System Interlink port
Allows power on/off control for the detector from the Vanquish system
base and device communication and synchronization between the detector
and other modules in the Vanquish system.
For example, the interconnection between autosampler and detector
automatically enables direct synchronization of sample inject and data
acquisition start in the detector. As a result, the synchronization improves
the retention time reproducibility.
6 Digital I/O ports (Dig I/O )
Allow exchange of digital signals with external instruments
Each digital I/O port provides one input and one relay output. For
connection and pin assignment information, see
7 USB hub ("A"-type connector)
Allows connection to other modules in the Vanquish system
8 USB (Universal Serial Bus) port ("B" type connector)
Allows connection to other modules in the Vanquish system or the
computer on which the data management system is installed, such as the
Chromeleon software
TIP Thermo Fisher Scientific recommends using the USB ports only as
described above. If the USB ports are used for any other purpose,
Thermo Fisher Scientific cannot ensure proper functionality.
NOTICE
• Never use defective communication cables. If you suspect that a
cable is defective, replace the cable.
