Description

Device Name

Indicates the name under which the instrument is identified in the installation environment (default: Sampler; also, refer to Naming Devices ...). To control the instrument via the existing Control Panels, accept the default name. If you do not accept the default name, you may have to edit the PGM Files and re-link the corresponding control of the control panel. (Also, refer to Linking a Control to a Device.)

Instrument Data Location

Defines the storage directory for the autosampler cycle files (.cyx) containing the autosampler methods. Accept the default path.

Communication Port

Select whether the autosampler is connected via TCP/IP or a COM port.

If the autosampler is controlled by Chromeleon via a COM port (serial communication), select the number of the COM port on the Chromeleon server PC used for connecting the autosampler.

Host Name or IP Address

Indicates the default IP address of the autosampler (172.16.1.200). However, any user-defined IP address is possible. If the autosampler is controlled by Chromeleon via an Ethernet connection, type the host name or IP address of the autosampler for Ethernet communication in the box.
