I am the benefactor of a "new" 5890 GC II system (yay, I know) but am having some difficulties with the whole PC communication part. The unit is in great shape it just did not come with the PC or software that were previously used to control it. Here are the relevant stats.
GC:
7683 Auto-injector
HPIB/RS-232 Communication board (19257-60015) *board*
PC:
Windows XP SP3
Chemstation A.06.01
Keysight IOLibSuite 17.1 (latest one that works with XP SP3)
HPIB 82350A PCI Board (HP82341 in config settings)
Chemstation initializes properly but gives me the "GC Instrument not detected" error. It does it for the injector as well but let us just remove the injector from the equation right now and focus on the GC. I can run the Keysight IO software and see that there is an "Unknown" instrument at the GPIO(0),11 address so I configured the instrument to be at address 11, but alas, same error.
I have scoured this forum for a resolution, which honestly has gotten me as far as I have so far, but cannot find a next step from here. I would truly appreciate some guidance from the ChomGurus!!!
