Connecting the ASX-112FR Autosampler to the Host
Computer
You cannot operate the ASX-112FR autosampler until you establish a
communications interface between the autosampler and the host computer. It
is through this interface that the host computer directs the operation of the
ASX-112FR autosampler. Before connecting the ICP-MS, ensure the correct dip
switches are set for the ICP-MS interface, as described in the ASX-112
Autosampler Operators’ Manual . The ASX-112FR autosampler supports the
following three communications protocols:

The serial (RS-232C) protocol is the standard configuration. There is an
RS-232C serial port on the ASX-112FR, and a serial interface kit is shipped
with the autosampler.

The USB protocol is an optional configuration.

The parallel (IEEE-488) protocol is less common than the serial
configuration or USB. An IEEE-488 interface kit is available as an optional
accessory to the ASX-112FR. (Refer to the ASX-112FR Autosampler
Operator’s Manual for further instructions.)
