Pump control
Using Waters data control software, such as Breeze 2 software, you can
control and monitor 1500-series HPLC pumps in isocratic or binary
applications. For detailed information about specific data control software
versions and requirements, refer to the release notes for the Waters
1500-series HPLC pumps.
Use Waters data control software to perform these tasks:
• Set all pump control parameters and operating ranges
• Define binary gradient conditions for a run (binary pumps only)
• Prime and purge the eluent flow path
Under data control, the pump can operate in one of these configurations:
• Where all system components, including a 1500-series pump and
optional column heater, communicate with the data system via an
Ethernet communications interface
• Where all system components, including a 1500-series pump and
optional column heater, communicate with the data system via an
IEEE-488 bus interface
You cannot use the pump or column heater’s Ethernet port at the same time
you are using its IEEE-488 bus interface for communications.
Power entry module Provides receptacles for power cord and fuses.
Ethernet Connects the pump to an Ethernet LAN
network card or Ethernet switch connected with
the data control system.
IEEE-488 connector
Connects the pump to a busLAC/E
™
or NI GPIB
card in the data control system.
IEEE-488 address
switches
Sets the IEEE-488 address for the pump.
Power switch Powers the pump on and off.
Fuse holder Contains power fuses.
