Dear all

I have a Perkin Elmer Clarus 500 which have developed some problems with its connection to the computer. The GC has a dotLINK interface and is connected to the computer by a serial connection on com1.

Link to dotLink:

As my work trying to get this connection to work is not bearing fruit, I would like to try to change to at ethernet connection. According to the user guide, linked below, I should use the PE software IcarusIPConfigure to configure the IP address of the dotLink. I've written PE, but no reply yet.

Do anyone have this IcarusIPConfigure software?

Dear Peter,

Regarding

I think I could help with the firmware. Please state which version you need, for which instrument (GC/LC and please indicate current instrument and dotLINK firmware versions) and why do you intend to update the dotLINK (an update may fix some specific problem, but not all of them).

Regards,
SVH
