Client

Workstations that can start Chromeleon are called clients. The client provides a user interface for accessing chromatography data and Datasources as well as appropriately representing their contents.

To control or monitor a chromatography system from a client PC, the client must be connected to the Chromatography Server. This connection is usually established when you open a Control Panel and connect to the desired Timebase. Once the connection is established, you can access the devices installed on the server.

To manage database access, Chromeleon uses the capability of a modern operating system to share resources (see Chromatography Systems: Hardware and Software  Operating Systems). A client can access all files or datasources for which sharing was issued on a different workstation.

In addition, monitoring and controlling a system is only possible via the client. To do this, the client must connect to a (chromatography) Server.

In combination with a network (see Chromatography Systems: Hardware and Software  Network), this allows you both to operate a system and to represent the system status and the course of the open chromatogram from any client! Due to access conflicts, it is not possible to synchronize system control over several clients.
