Configuring Turbochrom with the Series 200 UV/VIS Detector

Configuring Turbochrom with the Series 200 UV/VIS
Detector
The Series 200 UV/VIS Detector can be controlled from Turbochrom and may be configured
in one of two modes:
• As a 785 detector.
• As a Series 200 UV/VIS detector.
For full details on configuring the detector into Turbochrom please consult your Turbochrom
documentation.
The Series 200 UV/VIS Detector Configured into Turbochrom as a 785
Detector
In this mode, the Series 200 UV/VIS Detector appears to Turbochrom as a 785 detector. It
can therefore be used in any existing Turbochrom configuration containing a 785 detector
without the need to change any existing methods or procedures. In this mode, wavelength
and response times can be set in the Turbochrom method. There is, however, no capability to
change the wavelength during a run.
The Series 200 UV/VIS Detector Configured into Turbochrom as a
Series 200 UV/VIS Detector
In this mode, the method capabilities of the Series 200 UV/VIS Detector are available from
Turbochrom, enabling the use of wavelength changes during a run, if required. In addition,
the chromatographic signal is directly transferred to the Turbochrom Link box digitally,
removing the need for the 900 A-to-D converter and the analog cables.

Configuring the Series 200 UV/VIS Detector for External Control

The Series 200 UV/VIS detector is preconfigured for external control, and no configuration
has to be made in the detector to enable Turbochrom to control it. Turbochrom automatically
controls the detector once the Take Control command is issued and places the detector under
external control. When used in the "785 mode," the detector displays the Manual Detector
Settings screen and shows the wavelength and response factor sent by Turbochrom. Used in
the "Series 200 UV/VIS mode," the method screen is displayed with the last method sent by
Turbochrom.
In both cases the message "External Control" is displayed on the detector's screen and the
keyboard is locked.
