Device Communication

To control a chromatography system and to record chromatograms and spectra, Chromeleon constantly communicates with instruments, such as Autosamplers, pumps, and Photodiode Array Detectors. Communication is performed via the  Chromatography BIOS and different  Device Drivers (see the following sections).

On the one hand, the data system sends control commands to the instruments; on the other hand, the detector transmits large quantities of data (3D fields, chromatograms, and spectra) to the data system. Therefore, a connection between the instrument(s) and the Chromeleon server PC must be established. For an overview of the different connection types that can be used, refer to:
