ChromeGate 3.3.2 Software Manual - KNAUER Advanced Scientific ...

Setup and Control of Knauer HPLC Systems 53
The driver for the model RF-20A/Axs only supports the
firmware version 0.9 . This firmware is only available
through Knauer. The control is compatible with model RF-
10Axl and will not support the advanced features of the
model RF20A/Axs.
The maximum data rate for the RF-10Axl using the serial
port is 0.5 Hz, for the RF-20A/Axs 5 Hz. For higher data
rates the 1 V Integrator Output with a Knauer interface
must be used.
Both detectors may not work on additionally installed serial
(COM) ports. It is recommended to connect it with a
computer’s onboard COM port.
Configuration – User Defined Detectors
The user defined detector can be assigned to any detector or sensor
producing an analog signal which can be digitized with A/D converters or
Interface Boxes. Such a detector could be any UV, RI, or fluorescence
detector, or some type of pressure, flow, or temperature sensor, etc.
For each user defined detector in the Configured Modules window,
double-click the icon and complete the configuration dialog.
