  • Page 12: About The E-Sat/In Module

    (Empower™) can collect data from either a single channel or both analog channels. The data start and stop times are identical for both channels. The e-SAT/IN module uses a dedicated local area network (LAN) to communicate to the chromatography data acquisition computer. You can control the e-SAT/IN module using Waters Empower software.

  • Page 13: Features

    Data status indicator (LED). • Dedicated external voltage autosensing power supply. Features This section describes the features of the e-SAT/IN module. Baseline noise As analysis times decrease, higher data sampling rates are required to accommodate narrower peaks. The e-SAT/IN module features new technology and a design that reduces chromatographic baseline noise at all its sampling rates.

  • Page 14: Ethernet I/O Connection

    12.5 Ethernet I/O connection The Waters e-SAT/IN module connects to a chromatography data system using a 10 base-T Ethernet interface to a dedicated local area network (LAN). Ethernet allows for the use of long cables (when required) and eliminates the need for proprietary interface hardware beyond the dedicated Ethernet card (network interface card) within the acquisition computer.

  • Page 15: Bcd Input

    24-bits of A/D conversion (depending on the sampling rate). Analog input channels The analog input channels of the e-SAT/IN module receive analog signals from the detector. This analog signal is converted to digital data. The digital data signal is bundled into a data packet and sent using Ethernet to the acquisition computer as shown in the figure below.
