 Note:

As programming device drivers for third-party devices requires a considerable effort and as not all instruments are designed for direct control, support may be limited to certain functions.

 Tip:

The following pages provide information about how to install the respective instruments. However, we will only provide the information that is important for installing the instrument under Chromeleon. For more information, refer to the respective instrument manual.

For information about cables, pin assignments, and Dionex part numbers (if available), refer to  Cables and Pin Assignments in the Appendix of the Hardware Installation section.
