Appendix D
Communications Using
i
Port or
RPComm
This appendix provides information for communications using
i
Port or
RPComm.
i
Port is a program designed to communicate exclusively with the Partisol
2000
i
and 2000
i
-D Samplers and other instruments from Thermo Fisher
Scientific that are based on the same operating platform.
i
Port can
communicate with the Samplers using TCP/IP Ethernet and RS-232 serial
communications. These features enable full control of instruments by a
remote device, such as a computer.
i
Port takes advantage of the
instruments' rich command set and of Microsoft Windows to provide a
robust remote interface. Refer to the
iPort Instruction Manual
part number
102606-00 for detailed information.
Because the use of AK Protocol has been enabled on the Partisol 2000
i
and
2000
i
-D Samplers, RPComm can be used for communications with the
Samplers. Because of the updated operating platform compared with the
original Partisol series Samplers, not all functionality is available when
using RPComm. RPComm is a communications software package for
computers running Windows operating systems which provides interactive
remote communications with Partisol instrumentation.
RPComm enables the user to:
●
Download the data stored within the unit’s data logger
●
Schedule automatic data downloads
●
Make multiple connections.
RPComm has two communication modes - direct and modem. Direct
communication is accomplished when the unit has a direct cable
connection with a personal computer (PC). Modem communication is
accomplished when the unit has a connection with a PC through the use of
a modem and phone line. Before modem communication is attempted,
direct communication must be successfully completed. This will ensure
that the PC and unit have been set up properly for communications.
