I am trying to connect up a Waters Alliance 2690 separations module and 996 PDA through IEEE-488 NI PCI-GPIB to a windows XP computer so it can be controlled along with a Waters Micromass ZQ detector. The MS is connected separately through an ethernet cable.
I have setup the NI PCI-GPIB to the computer and using the NI488 ver. 1.7 interface, this also confirms that there are two instruments are connected (LC address-2, PDA address-1). The LC is set to "control using MassLynx". The computer is running MassLynx 4.1, when in the inlet page I have gone to Instrument Configuration. I do not have the option to select waters 2690 so I have selected 2695 instead as well as the waters 996 PDA. I have also selected the correct addresses.
The PDA on its own can connect and be controlled via MassLynx however when trying to connect to the Waters 2690 an error message reads "Waters Alliance 2695 Communication Error at address 2. Time Out:- I/O operation aborted"
Does anyone have any advice on how to connect it as to control it via MassLynx?
Cheers.
