To connect the 6890 Plus GC or the 6890N GC to the Empower system, use the RJ45 cable from the 8-port serial card in the LAC/E 32 Acquisition Server or the Empower Personal workstation to connect to the modem port (9-pin) at the back of the 6890 GC (Figure 2-4). Follow the instructions in “Configuring the 6890 GC” to configure the 6890 GC.

Connecting and Configuring GC Hardware 20
Configuring a GC Column For a 6890 GC with more than one inlet or detector, a GC column can be installed by connecting it to either the front or back inlet and the front or back detector. After installing a GC column, specify the location of the inlet and detector to which the column is connected. Using the front panel of the 6890 GC, enter this key sequence for column 1: 1. On the 6890 front panel, press Config. 2. Press the arrow key until the Column 1 selection is highlighted, then press Enter. 3. Press the arrow key until the Detector selection is highlighted, then press Enter. 4. Ensure that the detector settings are correct. If not, press Front or Back to specify the appropriate location. 5. Press Enter. Follow the same procedure to configure column 2. 2 Enabling Auto Prep Run Auto Prep Run must be enabled for the 6890 GC to run under software control. To enable the Auto Prep Run feature: 1. On the 6890 front panel, press Config. 2. Press the arrow key until the Instrument selection is highlighted, then press Enter. The panel displays the instrument serial number on line 1 and the Auto Prep Run parameter on line 2. 3. Ensure that the Auto Prep Run parameter is on. If not, press On. 4. Press Enter. 2.2 Analog Output Configuration You can use the busSAT/IN Module to convert analog output from the GC detector to digital data for processing by the Empower system. The busSAT/IN Module can reside on the busLAC/E or an 8-port serial card. Figure 2-5 shows a busLAC/E 5890 set up for control through Empower software (digital data) as well as collection of the GC analog data. The busSAT/IN Module, when used, occupies an additional (third) port on the I/O distribution box. In this configuration, each Empower Personal workstation can support one GC system. As an example, this section describes the 5890/7673 with a SAT/IN through a busLAC/E. Note: A SAT/IN can also be used to collect analog data from a 5890 GC or a 6890 GC configured on an 8-port serial card. Analog Output Configuration 21
