Page 3: Introduction
General This document describes the configuration of the Varian ProStar 325 UV-Vis Detector driver. It also explains how to build a control method for this driver, how to start and view a running acquisition, and what actions are available during an analysis. -
Page 4: Installation And Configuration
To install the Galaxie Drivers software refer to the Galaxie installation Guide. Varian ProStar 325 Communications Configuration Ethernet Communications The Varian ProStar 325 UV-Vis Detector uses Ethernet as the method of communications for instrument control. The Varian ProStar 325 UV-Vis Detector uses TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) to communicate over the Ethernet network and needs to be given a unique IP address to identify the instrument. -
Page 5: Configuring The Driver
The driver software configuration is done in the Galaxie Configuration Manager when a new chromatographic system is created. Configuring the Varian ProStar 325 UV-Vis Detector Click on the button corresponding to the Varian ProStar 325 driver and the configuration screen appears. - Page 6 In the IP Address field, enter the IP address of the instrument.
