Section 4: AccuLase-GPA™ Web-Based GUI
4.1 Introduction
The AccuLase-GPA™ web-based graphical user interface (GUI) allows the user to view analyzer results,
configure the analyzer configuration, and carry out manual analyses as necessary. The GUI is accessible
through any modern internet browser software, though Galvanic Applied Sciences recommends the use
of either Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox. As the GUI is web-based, it is operating system agnostic, and
thus can be accessed by computers running Microsoft Windows, MacOS, or many varieties of Linux.
Further, no installation program is required on the connected PC as the entire GUI is stored in the analyzer
electronics.
4.2 Connecting to the AccuLase-GPA™ via Ethernet
The AccuLase-GPA™ can be connected to either a local computer directly using an Ethernet cable, or to a
remote computer elsewhere in the plant if the analyzer is linked into the plant’s local area network (LAN)
via a permanent Ethernet link.
4.2.1 Local Ethernet Connection
To connect a local computer to the AccuLase-GPA™, a computer with an Ethernet port and an
Ethernet cable are required.
NOTICE: THE ETHERNET CABLE USED TO CONNECT FROM THE LOCAL
COMPUTER TO THE ACCULASE-GPA™ MUST BE A STRAIGHT THROUGH (PATCH) CABLE AND NOT
A CROSSOVER CABLE.
Connect one end of the cable to the Ethernet port on the computer and
the other end of the cable to the Ethernet port on the front panel of the analyzer, beneath the
LCD screen, as indicated in Figure 27.
