Communication Symptoms
Communication symptoms likely involve links between the data system and the DSQ II, GC,
and autosampler. This section does not address communication issues with other devices.
Communication symptoms may occur during:
• Data transfer between the DSQ II and the data system
• Error messages
• Instrument control, method downloading and uploading
• DSQ II, GC and autosampler current status readbacks
• Start, stop, pause and initialize functions
How does the DSQ II communication work?
The flow of digital information in the DSQ II system is bi-directional; the data system
downloads analytical methods to the instrument and activates functions to start, stop,
shutdown, startup, and initialize. The DSQ II reports its readiness state and current tasks,
various voltages, heated zones, and pressure readings. It also delivers a steady stream of mass
spectral data during acquisition.
Why does the DSQ II have communication symptoms?
Some communication symptoms are due to mechanical faults—for instance, a cable may be
disconnected, or a device may be turned off. In other cases, an instrument method that is not
compatible with the DSQ II. Less common communication symptoms are due to defective
electronic hardware components.
How do I detect communication symptoms?
Communication symptoms may be detected from an error message delivered by the data
system, or they may be noticed from the failure to perform some expected task.
Data system cannot initialize communication with DSQ II.
Possible Solutions
• Communication circuits on the digital board are faulty. Check connections to digital
board. Replace if necessary.
• Digital board has locked up. Press the Reset button on the back of the instrument.
• Ethernet cable is disconnected. Verify that the ethernet cable is connected to the data
system port on the DSQ II.
