Chapter 1
CBM-20A/20Alite firmware versions 2.30 and later now can control respective liquid chromatograph
devices not only from a computer, but also from an iPad as well. Being able to use either a computer
or iPad allows even more flexibility in controlling LC systems.
1.1 Features
• An iPad can be used to access liquid chromatograph systems by simply adding a wireless LAN
adapter to the existing LC system.
• By using the Web-server function of CBM-20A/20Alite controllers, an iPad can be used to select
analytical conditions, execute analyses, and monitor the LC system.
• Since the standard web browser in iPads is used, LC systems can be accessed without installing
any special software.
