3.2 Configuring the Bus SAT/IN Module
The Bus SAT/IN module must be identified as a serial instrument connected to the Bus
LAC/E card I/O Distribution Box. You add the Bus SAT/IN module using the Configure
System window of the Session Manager window.
Adding the connected Bus SAT/IN module to the Configure System window allows the Bus
LAC/E card to recognize the serial device on the individual serial ports. Unlike Waters
IEEE-488 instruments, serial icons do not appear automatically upon powerup.
Once you add the Bus SAT/IN module, the Bus LAC/E card always associates the device
with the assigned serial port (unless you change or physically terminate the connection).
Instruments connected to the Bus SAT/IN module must be identified using
Instruments,
Configure LAC/E Serial Ports
command in the Configure System window. You must
identify serial instruments before the instrument icons appear in the Available Instruments
pane.
Refer to the following chapters in the
Millennium Chromatography Manager Software
User’s Guide for instructions on using the Bus SAT/IN module:

system, refer to Chapter 4, Configuring a Chromatographic System.
• For details on developing an instrument method when using a Bus SAT/IN module,
refer to Chapter 6, Creating/Modifying an Instrument Method.
3.3 Troubleshooting
If the Bus SAT/IN module does not appear in the instruments list, verify that the DIP
switches on the Bus LAC/E card are set to OPEN (
Figure 3-1
). See the
Waters Bus LAC/E
Card Installation Guide for information about the DIP switches.
If other symptoms of Bus SAT/IN module problems appear during Millennium software
