Agilent 1200 Series Getting Connected Guide for LC Devices

Connecting the Communication Cables

This chapter describes how to connect the Agilent 1200 Series LC modules to the data system
computer and how to make the contact closure connection between the LC stack and a
Thermo Scientific mass spectrometer.

Ethernet Communication Kit

To connect the Agilent LC system to a Thermo Scientific mass spectrometer, you must have
the following parts:

• Ethernet Communication Kit (

Table 3

)

• Agilent LAN card, Model G1369, unless the Agilent LC system contains a module with

an on-board LAN communication interface (

Figure 24

)

• Agilent BCD board for contact closure
