may be controlled through its built-in
touch screen panel or by a Windows computer running
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 or newer.
The Combi

is equipped with the touch screen display
for local control. For Windows computer control, the
Combi

may be controlled by the computer in two
different ways using TCP/IP protocol—direct or network. A
direct connection uses a cross-over cable between Ethernet

network.
Note
Teledyne Isco recommends that you obtain assistance from your
Information Technology department before attempting direct or
network connections to a Windows computer.

The system can be accessed from the built-in touch panel and
up to ten network computers. The touch panel shares control
with all connected computers. The system performs the most
recent command from any control input.
1.3.2 File Storage
To support operation from a variety of direct and network
connections, the software and all files are stored in the
Combi

on an internal hard drive. This ensures that
your compound purification methods and run history files can
be viewed from any connection.
