and ChromGate®: Upon registration you are asked to enter the
serial number of the interface box of which you need to enter the last 5 digits
only.
EuroChrom®: When the software requests the serial number of the interface
box in the hardware module, only the last 5 digits can be seen.
Analog Inputs
If you are to connect the analog output of a device (e. g. 1 V integrator output
of a detector) with the analog input of the interface box, use a RCA cable sup-
plied or recommended by the manufacturer. Alternatively use a matching cable
included with the interface box accessory kit. Please pay attention to the
allowed maximum voltage. Otherwise the device can get damaged.
Note:
The analog output and digital input of the same channel cannot be used
at the same time.
Analog Outputs
The analog outputs have to match the control input of the connected device.
Information on the control inputs come included with the user manual of the
device. Please pay attention to the allowed maximum voltage. Otherwise the
device can get damaged. KNAUER can not be held reliable in this case. The
required components of the remote connector and the USB cable are part of
the accessories kit of the interface box.
Note:
The analog input and digital output of the same channel cannot be used
at the same time.
Digital Connections
Digital inputs can be used to forward trigger signals coming from the injection
unit. The connector for the trigger signal is the digital input of the channel,
which also servers for recording data from the detector.
Digital outputs can be programmed via control software.
The required components of the remote connector and the USB cable are part
of the accessories kit of the interface box. If you require a NO connect the con-
tacts 2 and 3 (see rear view) or if you require NC connect the contacts 1 and 2
(see rear view).
Note:
If the analog input of a channel is used, it is not possible to program the
digital output of the same channel. In this case, the digital output D.OUT sends
a sampled signal at the start of run that e. g. can be used as autozero signal for
a detector.
