Dionex ICS-1000/1500/2000 or ICS-1100/1600/2100 Ion Chromatography System
In addition to the 
General Device Commands, the following commands are available for control of ICS-1000/1500/2000 or ICS-1100/1600/2100 operating functions (please note that the display Filter level determines which commands are displayed).
Pump Commands
In addition to the standard pump commands (see Dionex Pumps), the following commands are available for controlling the ICS-1000/1500/2000 or ICS-1100/1600/2100 pump.
|
Command |
Description |
|
EluentBottleLevel |
Indicates the volume of liquid (in liters) in the eluent reservoir. To ensure the accuracy of this value, enter the volume of liquid in the reservoir each time you fill the reservoir. |
|
EluentValve |
Indicates the eluent valve position (Open or Closed). |
|
On, Off, Prime |
Turns the pump on or off, or starts the pump priming function. |
|
Pump_InjectValve. |
(If no AS or AS50 is installed) Injects the sample.
For the ICS ion chromatography system, injection is performed with the Pump_InjectValve.InjectPosition command (if no AS or AS50 is installed). With the Pump_InjectValve.InjectPosition command, an injection is always performed, even for a Blank Run Sample. This is contrary to the autosampler Inject command. |
|
Valve_2 |
Sets the auxiliary valve position to A or B (ICS-1100/1600/2100 only). |
|
PumpMode |
Indicates whether the pump is on, off, or priming. |
Detector Commands
In addition to the standard detector commands (see Dionex Detectors), the following commands are available for controlling the ICS-1000/1500/2000 or ICS-1100/1600/2100 detector.
|
Command |
Description |
|
Acquisition_Ready |
Indicates when the detector is ready to start data acquisition. |
|
CellTemperature |
Sets the temperature of the DS6 conductivity cell. |
|
Sets the rate at which Chromeleon collects digital data points from the detector |
|
|
DataPolarity |
Sets the signal polarity to Normal or Inverted. |
|
MaxAutoStep |
Sets the maximum step rate if Step is set to Auto. |
|
(Analog Out) Sets the offset (0 to 100%) applied to the recorder output. |
|
|
(Analog Out) Sets the recorder output polarity. |
|
|
(Analog Out) Calibrates the recorder output (Normal, Zero, or Full-Scale). |
|
|
(Analog Out) Sets the full-scale output range of the recorder. |
|
|
Sets how quickly the detector responds to a change in signal. |
|
|
TotalConductivity |
Reports the measured conductivity with no offset applied. |
Column Temperature and Suppressor Commands
|
Command |
Description |
|
ColumnTemperature |
Sets the column heater temperature. |
|
Suppressor_Current |
Sets the suppressor current (in mA). |
|
Suppressor_Mode |
Turns the suppressor on or off. |
|
Suppressor_Type |
Selects the type of Suppressor installed. |
Auxiliary Power Supply Commands (ICS-2100 only)
The EGC-2 power supply in the ICS-2100 can be used as an auxiliary power supply for an external electrolytic device. The following commands are available for the auxiliary power supply.
|
Command |
Description |
|
Mode |
Turns the auxiliary power supply on or off. |
|
Current |
Sets the auxiliary power supply current value (in mA). |
ER Controller Commands (RFIC-ER systems only)
The controller commands are described in 
Dionex ER Controller.
Eluent Generator Commands (ICS-2000 or ICS-2100 only)
In addition to the standard eluent generator commands (see Dionex Eluent Generators), the following commands are available for controlling the ICS-2000 or ICS-2100 eluent generator.
|
Command |
Description |
|
CR_TC |
Turns the CR-TC on or off. |
|
EgcCurrent |
Indicates the EGC current value. |
|
EgcVoltage |
Indicates the EGC voltage value. |
|
Mode |
Turns the eluent generator on or off. |
State Commands
|
Command |
Description |
|
InjectPosition |
Sets the injection valve to the inject position. |
|
LoadPosition |
Sets the injection valve to the load position. |
|
Relay_1, Relay_2 |
The following commands are available: State (indicates or sets the state of the relay), Closed (closes the relay), Open (opens the relay), and Duration (toggles the relay's state after the specified time). The relay-contact closures are normally open. When the relay is closed, current flows to the connected device (turns on the action). |
|
TTL_1, TTL_2 |
The following commands are available: State (indicates or sets the state of the TTL), 0v (sets the TTL to zero volts), 5v (sets the TTL to 5 volts), and Duration (toggles the TTL’s state after the specified time). The TTL outputs are normally at 5 volts. Setting a TTL output to 0 volts turns on the action in the connected device. |
In addition to the commands listed above, calibration and diagnostic commands for the ICS-1000/1500/2000 and ICS-1100/1600/2100 are also available (see Ensuring System Wellness for details).
