Description

 

 

Port Address:

The Hex and Decimal fields indicate the current interface address as hexadecimal or decimal number. Change the decimal value to change the address. The Hex value is then automatically calculated. For more information, refer to:

 Pump Control Card/Selecting the I/O-Address

 A/D Converter/Selecting the I/O-Address

 12-Bit DAC Card/Selecting the I/O-Address

 16-Bit DAC Card/Selecting the I/O-Address

 Dionex 16-fold Relay Card/Selecting the I/O-Address

 Dionex Digital I/O Card/Selecting the I/O-Address

 

 

Demo Mode:

Select this check box to simulate the operation of the corresponding sharable device. Note that this mode does not require nor allow changing addresses.

 

 

PCI-Board No.:

(ME630 and ME1400 only)

If you know the slot number, install the card using this number. If you do not know the slot number, enter any number and install the card. In the Audit Trail, a message informs you that no PCI card has been found in the indicated slot. In addition, the message states the number of the slot where a PCI card is available. Re-install the card using this number

 

 Tip:

The available relays and remote inputs are Sharable Devices. Thus, they can be used independently from timebases. To use them with a specific timebase, an additional driver must be installed for each timebase that uses one or more of those relays and/or remote inputs. Select Add Device on the Edit or context menu. In the Add device to timebase dialog box, select Generic from the Manufacturers list box, and then select Shared Relays and Inputs. Add the required relays and/or remote inputs.  
For analog signals, install the respective Device Driver by selecting the manufacturer's name from the left list box and the device name from the right list box. Or else, install the Integrator Driver in the same way as the Shared Relays and Inputs driver, and then select the signals.
