Nelson Interfaces: Overview

 

Device Type:

Chromatography interface

Device Driver:

Nelson (or Perkin Elmer): 941 Interface or
Nelson (or Perkin Elmer): 950/960/970 Interface

Hardware Options
Supported:

No special options available.

 

What is required?

License:

Timebase Class 2

Connection:

Required component for the Nelson 941 Interface:

  • A null modem cable (For more information, refer to  Null Modem Cable (Dionex part no. 8914.0103A: 9-pin COM port) in the Appendix of the Hardware Installation section.)

Required component for the Nelson 950/960/970 Interfaces:

  • A modem cable (For more information, refer to  Modem Cable (1:1 Cable) (Dionex part no. 8914.0128: 25-pin COM port or 8914.0144A: 9-pin COM port) in the Appendix of the Hardware Installation section.)

Required component for the Nelson 901 and 902 interfaces:

  • A special RS cable (For more information, refer to  Nelson Cable in the Appendix of the Hardware Installation section.)

Control Panels:

A separate panel is not required because the interface is not controlled by commands and it does not provide parameter output.
