ICOPs are instrument control programs.
Acquity systems were not around when Empower was introduced, so for any Waters instrument that is either uncommon, or newer than Empower, there is a set of programs that gets run on the server and on the LAC/E attached to said instruments that allows the instrument to function.

If you'r in a client/server environment involving Citrix servers, the ICOPs have to go there too. Your Empower admin. should be up on all of this.

If you're more or less alone, running a local installation ("fat client"), you will need the ICOPs on your LAC/E as well as on your computer.

The ICOPs come with the isntrument, can be downloaded from Waters etc. etc.
