I am having issues getting totalchrome to recognize the instrument using the serial connection (not GPIB). Any suggestions.
Thanks,

I am getting this error when I try to run a method using TurboMass. Did you figure out the cause for this error?
Thanks.

Back again.
Update: We contacted PE and had them remotely connect to our computer and solve the problem. FAIL.
We were advised to try and either get a replacement integrated LINK board or an external LINK 600/680 series with DB25-Female to DB-9 Male cable with a custom pinout (different from the DB25 female to DB9 female RS-232 required for connecting the computer to instrument).
Because it was cheaper we went with a used LINK 600 and had the custom cable made.
This proved a minor success. The TC software was able to identify the 600 Link box allowing us to move past the " interface not found or is unavailable" error when the com port was queried. But then a few screens later keep getting COM port errors # 23 (Cable not connected) # 35(Inst. does not respond) and #60 (Communications error). Basically, it can't find the Autosystem XL The cable is clearly connected and the machine on with external control selected on the keypad. We've tried every combination of connecting the LINK 600 to the GC via the top or side DB25 port with or without the intergral LINK board connected. No luck.
Kinda at a loss at this point but wanted to update people and hopefully this will be informative to others in the future.
On the off chance anyone has a suggestion I'd love to hear.

SOLVED
Finally, I could connect to Gc, and setup method and get it run fully.
I'm here for any questions about PE GC problems.
