operation of the ASX-1400 Autosampler. The ASX-1400 Autosampler
supports the following two communications protocols:
The serial (RS-232) protocol is the standard configuration. There are
two RS-232 serial ports on the ASX-1400, and a serial interface kit is
shipped with the autosampler.
The parallel (IEEE-488) protocol is less common than the serial
configuration. An IEEE-488 interface kit is available as an optional
accessory to the ASX-1400. See Chapter 1, “Introduction,” for more
information about this kit.
The USB interface is an optional configuration. A virtual COM port
is created when using the USB and therefore, the connection looks
like a standard RS-232 serial port to the host PC software.
Note:
Although the ASX-1400 supports serial and IEEE communications
protocols, the host computer governs which protocol is used. To
determine which protocol is required for the analytical instrument you are
using, refer to the hardware or software manual provided with the
instrument. The following sections explain how to establish a
communications interface using a serial protocol and using an IEEE
protocol.
When interconnecting any computing devices, keep the
communications cables away from sources of electromagnetic or
Radio Frequency (RF) interference, such as electric motors,
transformers, fluorescent light ballasts or RF energy sources.
Establishing an RS-232 Serial
Communications Interface
The serial interface kit provided with the ASX-1400 Autosampler
includes an interface cable equipped with two modular port adapters.
Use the interface kit to establish a serial communications interface with
the host computer. To do so, complete the following steps:
