Licenses:

Timebase Class 2 or
Timebase Class 2 + 3D Data Acquisition (to allow acquisition of 3D data with the 1100 LC Diode Array Detector)

Connection:

GPIB cable (Dionex part no.: 5919.0013; for more information, refer to  GPIB IEEE 488 Bus Cable)

The device driver usually communicates with the HPLC system via a GPIB (IEEE) connection. This requires that a GPIB card be installed in the Chromeleon server PC and that the PC be connected with the HPLC system via a GPIB IEEE 488 Bus Cable. If the system includes a photodiode array detector, you should connect the instrument to the PC via the GPIB cable. (If the system does not include a photodiode array detector, connect one of the other detectors, preferably a UV detector.) Use CAN cables (Agilent part no. 5181-1519) to connect all other modules to the PDA (or the other detector).

 Caution:

When connecting several instruments via a GPIB connection, connect them in series (not in a star structure) and turn on all instruments. Otherwise, communication problems may occur.

 Caution:

To avoid communication problems, connect the HPLC system to the PC via the detector with the most data. If the system includes a diode array detector (DAD), connect the DAD to the PC. If the system does not include a DAD, the preferred order is as follows: fluorescence detector (FLD) > multiple wavelength UV detector (MWD) > variable wavelength UV detector (VWD) > refractive index detector (RID).

Hardware
Prerequisites:

One server PC can control a maximum of two 1100 HPLC Systems 
(Note: Any combination of LAN and GPIB is supported. Both systems can be controlled via LAN connections or GPIB, or one system can be controlled via a LAN connection and the other system via GPIB.)

• GPIB interface card or GPIB/USB adapter in the Chromeleon server PC

Firmware
Prerequisites:

• Firmware version = 3.8x

• If possible, use the same firmware version for all system modules

Software
Prerequisites:

VISA library for the GPIB card (usually shipped with the GPIB card)

 Note: 

If the VISA library does not support your operating system, download the latest version from the Internet.
