Merck Hitachi L7100 Pump: Overview

Dionex recommends operating the Merck Hitachi L7100 Pump with the new Merck (or Hitachi) LaChrom HPLC System Device Driver (see  Merck Hitachi LaChrom HPLC System: Overview).

Chromeleon still provides the old device driver (Obsolete: Merck Hitachi L7100 Pump (D-Line)) only for compatibility reasons. The old driver requires a D-Line converter for each device.
