This application note describes how to connect the eDAQ C4D system to the Agilent 1600 CE instrument.
Contents
Introduction
The eDAQ C4D system can be connected to the Agilent 1600 CE instrument.
Connecting an Agilent detector to the C4D hardware unit
Some Agilent detectors have an analog output. This can be connected to the C4D hardware, so that signals from both the C4D and Agilent detector can be displayed in the eDAQ PowerChrom software.
Recording the C4D signal in ChemStation
If you wish to record the C4D signal using the Agilent ChemStation software, the ER125 C4D Detector has an analog output for this. The Agilent 1600 CE instrument doesn’t have an analogue input, so the Agilent 35900E data acquisition interface is required to connect a third party detector, such as the C4D.
Installing the C4D headstage in the Agilent cartridge
It is easy to mount the C4D headstage inside the Agilent CE cartridge. Simply thread the capillary through the channel in the side of the C4D headstage and fix in place.
You should ensure that the C4D headstage and its flat grey cable are at least 1 cm away from the capillary as it loops inside the cartridge. This is to prevent the high voltage inside the capillary from shorting through the headstage and its cable, which are both electrically grounded.
You should also ensure that the C4D hardware unit is connected to an electrical socket which is grounded. Connect the C4D hardware directly to the electrical socket in the wall, not using an electrical power board.
