Connecting Devices to the Chromeleon Server PC
Connecting Third-Party Devices via GPIB

Some third-party devices communicate with Chromleon via GPIB (IEEE-488.2). This requires that a GPIB card or GPIB/USB adapter is installed in the Chromeleon Server PC. In addition, GPIB interface software and VISA library must be installed. Chromeleon supports the following GPIB interfaces:

Manufacturer

GPIB Interface

Dionex Part No.

National Instruments

NI PCI GPIB card

5919.0012

National Instruments

NI PCI GPIB+ card

n/a (must be ordered from National Instruments)

Agilent

82357B USB-GPIB adapter

5919.0016

Agilent

82350B PCI-GPIB card

5919.0022

 Note:  

The Waters BusLAC/ETM card cannot be used with Chromeleon.

 

The following devices use GPIB:

 Agilent 1050 HPLC System

 Agilent 1100 HPLC System

 Waters Alliance 2690(D)/2695(D) HPLC Modules

 Waters Alliance 2790/2795 HPLC Modules
