Hello everybody! First time poster so please let me apologize if this is not the right place to post. Feel free to move the post where it fits most.
Anyway, I`m a post-doc in a research lab, and I have been using Waters systems since I started purifying proteins. Just to say that my experience is hands-on based mostly. Anyway I just bought a used system made up of 600 quad pumps, 600 controller, 717 autosampler and the dual UV detector 2487.
I connected everything with IEEE-48 cables and to the computer with the LAC/E board. Everything seems to work just fine, in the sense that I see under waters system/nodes all the component of my system and they are all OK, and I can "control" the UV detector, in the sense that I can write a method setting whichever wavelength I want and the detector will do change the wavelength to the one I set. However, my confusion/question is that I also have a second system (in a different lab) in which I have a WAters 2489 detector. When I open empowers in this second system I can actually see on screen the OD reading of the detector, and I have the ability to turn off the lamp from there, the screen, without having to write it in the method.
The 2489 is not connected with IEEE-488 cable, but with an ethernet cable to a SAT/IN module (I think that is the name). So my question is, am I connecting the 2487 in a wrong way, or that function (to have on screen the OD and lamp on/off) is unique of the 2489!
Thank you all for reading this!
