Does anyone have experience how to control an Agilent Detector (RI) on a Waters Alliance with Empower3?
Actually I can control everything but I can't get this configuration to start and collect the data from the RI.
The acquisition starts fine when I use "inject immediate" (regardless if the inject start cable connects the Alliance and the RI) but when I use a "normal" Inject function (sample, standard etc.), the Alliance makes the injection and the RI goes to "instrument run" but Empower doesn't collect the data from the RI.
Also the run isn't finished in Empower, seems it still wait's for the detector to get ready.
I guess it's because with the Inject start-cable, the start of the RI is directly triggered without any "Instrument Pre-Run", which in fact is the case when the Inj-Immediate function is used.
Any ideas how to get it work?
How to trigger the Pre-Run on the RI?
(I would accept a delayed start of the RI and working with the analog switches from the Alliance if necessary).
PS: I'm already in contact with support from Agilent and Waters but no solution is found yet.
Config:
Empower3 FR3, HF1
Agilent G1362A, FW 07.02 / Driver A02.14
Agilent LAN-card G1369A, FW 01.10
Alliance 2695, FW 3.00
Connections with Ethernet
Inject-Start cable from Alliance to RI (B1/B2 to Remote Pin 1/3)
