Hardware Information

Firmware Description

The firmware of the instrument consists of two independent sections:

•

a non-instrument specific section, called

resident system

•

an instrument specific section, called

main system

Resident System

This resident section of the firmware is identical for all Agilent

1100/1200/1220/1260/1290 series modules. Its properties are:

•

the complete communication capabilities (CAN, LAN, USB and RS- 232)

•

memory management

•

ability to update the firmware of the 'main system'

Main System

Its properties are:

•

the complete communication capabilities (CAN, LAN, USB and RS- 232)

•

memory management

•

ability to update the firmware of the 'resident system'

In addition the main system comprises the instrument functions that are divided

into common functions like

•

run synchronization through APG/ERI remote,

•

error handling,

•

diagnostic functions,

•

or module specific functions like

•

internal events such as lamp control, filter movements,

•

raw data collection and conversion to absorbance.
