Hardware Information
Interfaces
Remote (ERI)
The ERI (Enhanced Remote Interface) connector may be used in combination
with other analytical instruments from Agilent Technologies if you want to use
features as common shut down, prepare, and so on.
It allows easy connection between single instruments or systems to ensure
coordinated analysis with simple coupling requirements.
The subminiature D connector is used. The module provides one remote
connector which is inputs/outputs (wired- or technique).
To provide maximum safety within a distributed analysis system, one line is
dedicated to
SHUT DOWN
the system’s critical parts in case any module detects
a serious problem. To detect whether all participating modules are switched on
or properly powered, one line is defined to summarize the
POWER ON
state of all
connected modules. Control of analysis is maintained by signal readiness
READY
for next analysis, followed by
START
of run and optional
STOP
of run triggered on
the respective lines. In addition
PREPARE
and
START REQUEST
may be issued.
The signal levels are defined as:
•
standard TTL levels (0 V is logic true, + 5.0 V is false),
•
fan-out is 10,
•
input load is 2.2 kOhm a 5.0 V, and
•
output are open collector type, inputs/outputs (wired- or technique).
NOTE
All common TTL circuits operate with a 5 V power supply. A TTL signal is defined
as "low" or L when between 0 V and 0.8 V and "high" or H when between 2.0 V
and 5.0 V (with respect to the ground terminal).
