Using Empower 2 with Agilent 1100 and Alltech ELSD 2000

[ManaJane]

Let me begin my saying that I am a newbie to this area. I recently obtained my PhD in chemistry and just started a new industry job in analytical chemistry. I have been tasked with setting up an Alltech ELSD 2000 with an Agilent 1100 that is run with Empower 2. I know the Alltech ELSD 2000 can not be operated with Empower 2, and I already have the A/D converter box I need to hook it up. I was wondering if someone could help me figure out how to actually set up Empower 2 to collect the data from the Alltech ELSD 2000. The only Empower experience I have is setting up runs and processing them. If there is something I could read up on, that would be GREAT.

Also, does anyone happen to know if there are ELSDs out there than can be operated with Empower 2 (besides the obvious Waters system)?

Thank you much!

The ELSD signal goes to the Empower PC via the A/D interface Box, However you will need to set up a remote start cable between the HPLC and the Empower PC Which will activate the data acquisition by Empower when the HPLC injects the sample.
