SN xxxxx
This field displays the serial number of the instrument which was entered
in the configuration window. It should be the same as in the list in Fig.
206 where the serial numbers are read out from the instrument. The
serial numbers serve as instrument identifiers; an error message will be
generated in the case that the method is started with incorrectly entered
serial numbers. In this case, the serial number must be corrected in the
instrument configuration.
The active state of the communication with an instrument is represented
by the green symbol. Only in this case you will have access to the
Device Information. Click the button to display instrument(s)
connected to that COM port. Information about the serial number, device
name, and instrument software versions will appear:

Instrument Status – Pumps
The tabs for all types of pumps appear identical, independent of the
features of the pump. The embedding of the pump into an HPG- or LPGsystem
will also not change the appearance of this window tab.
Unavailable features and functions will only be disabled and inaccessible.
In case of the Kontron pumps the GLP data and the Events are not
displayed.
