Chromatography Forum

The title pretty much says it all. Trying to help out a customer with setting up an external column switching valve through their BCD card, and apparently they don't have the cable that came with the card anymore. I've combed the net quite a bit and haven't come up with anything.

The customer has also talked to Agilent and apparently they don't carry them anymore, so that route is covered as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Chris

I may have one, but need the Agilent Part number, or photos of what the ends look like or plug in to. BCD doesn't mean a whole lot to me. I know what Centronix, 25 pin, HPIB, Agilent remote cables look like, not overly computer-literate.

If you have access to a recent Agilent Detector ( DAD, VWD etc - possibly GC as well), or any autosampler, look in the Manual, Index under BCD - it will have the cable, the pinouts ( usually 15 pin D connector ), and part numbers.

BCD = Binary coded digital - used to transfer information about vial numbers to an external system.
