SCL-10Avp System Controller

This system controller is designed to be connected to the various units in the. Shimadzu LC-10N10Avp High Performance Liquid Chroma.tography series, and control their functions.

This controller centralizes control of a wide variety of system configurations, and can also permit fully operation.

• By means of specially designed fiber optic hnk interfa.ces, the controller can be connecte,d to the pump, column oven, detector, auto injector and fraction collec­tor in the LC-10A/10Avp series.

Use of a sub-controlier will also permit the controlier to be connected to and con­trol options such as special vaives and a heliurn degasser.

• An fiber optic link interface for connection to a Chrornatopac is supplied. This interface permits operation in tandem with a Chromatopac, or system control by

BASIC programs vvritten on the Chromatopac.

• An optional RS-232 cable can be used to connect the controiler to a PC, for PC

control. (When the controlier is under PC control, the fiber optic |inkin1erface

cannot be used.)

• The controller's LCD screen permits setting anaiysis conditions for the connected

devices , provides displays relating to control operation, and displays the status of each device for monitoring puposes during ana.lysis.

Additionally, the screen's graphic functions can provide graphic displays of scan data from the detector, chromatograms from the fraction collector, and other data that facilitate pararneters settings.
