Chapter 3: Installing the Analyzer
Step 8: Connect to the Host Computer
The CETAC M-7600 mercury analyzer is controlled by a PC through an
Ethernet connection.
CETAC recommends that this PC be equipped with two network cards. One
card is used for communication with your laboratory network, and the other
card is used exclusively for communication with the M-7600 mercury analyzer.
In most cases, a PC is supplied with the mercury analyzer, and this PC has two
network cards.
NOTE
In most cases, CETAC will pre-configure the network cards for your laboratory.
If you were not able to supply the necessary network information to CETAC, or
if you will be supplying your own PC, then set up the network cards yourself as
described below. If the PC is already set up, skip to “Step 9: Install the Gas-
Liquid Separator (GLS)” on page 53.
If you wish to use a laptop computer or if you cannot install a secondary
network card, see “Connecting a Laptop Computer to the M-7600” on page 52.
The information in this section is also supplied in the CETAC M-7600 Mercury
Analyzer PC Setup Guide which is included with the mercury analyzer.
