When the remedy for some problem cannot be discovered easily, the
recording of communication between
Clarity
and the chromatograph can
significantly help the
DataApex
support to discover the cause of the
problem.
The recording can be enabled by adding or amending the COMMDRV.INI
file in the
Clarity
installation directory (C:\CLARITY\CFG by default). The
file can be edited in any text editor (e.g. Notepad). Following section
should be edited or added:
[COM1]
echo=on
textmode=on
filename=ShimadzuGC201x.txt; %D or %d could be used to include a
current date (recommended in combination with the Reset=Off option
reset=off
Note:
Instead of COM1 type the correct serial port used to communicate with
the
Shimadzu GC-201x
chromatograph. This port number is displayed
when the
GC Status
button in the
Method Setup - GC
dialog is invoked or
in the
Shimadzu GC-201x Setup
dialog.
The created *.TXT files will greatly help in diagnosis of unrecognized
errors and problems in communication.
