Table of Contents Clarity Control Module

To facilitate the orientation in the Agilent 5890 manual and Clarity chromatography station,

different fonts are used throughout the manual. Meanings of these fonts are:

Instrument (blue text) marks the name of the window to which the text refers.

Open File (italics) describes the commands and names of fields in Clarity, parameters that can

be entered into them or a window or dialog name (when you already are in the topic describing

the window).

WORK1 (capitals) indicates the name of the file and/or directory.

ACTIVE (capital italics) marks the state of the station or its part.

The bold text is sometimes also used for important parts of the text and the name of the Clarity

station. Moreover, some sections are written in format other than normal text. These sections are

formatted as follows:

Note: Notifies the reader of relevant information.

Caution: Warns the user of possibly dangerous or very important

information.

▌ Marks the problem statement or trouble question.

Description: Presents more detailed information on the problem, describes its causes,

etc.

Solution: Marks the response to the question, presents a procedure how to remove it.

Agilent 5890 1 Agilent 5890 GC Control Module

1 Agilent 5890 GC Control Module

The Agilent 5890 GC driver can control Agilent (formerly HP) 5890A,

5890 Series II and 4890Dchromatographs.

Fig 1: Agilent (HP) 5890 with an autosampler

Tab 1: Control Board compatibility:

Control Board Status Description

19257-60015 HPIB/RS232 Newer type; working; both analog

outputs supported.

19257-60010 HPIB/RS232

Tested in DataApex. Older type;

working; only one analog output is

supported

19242-60010 INET commonly used with integrators, cannot

be used

19242-60015 INET

commonly used with integrators,

buffered communication, cannot be

used

19242-60030 RS232

RS232 board only, uses different

communication protocol, cannot be

Agilent 5890 2 Requirements

2 Requirements

Clarity Installation CD ROM with GC Control module (p/n A23).

Caution: The control module does not support EPC, FPD and Analog Input

Board (19261-60010)

Free serial port in the PC (fast - 16550 UART).

Note: Modern computers usually have only 1 (if any) serial (COM) port installed.

To use more devices requiring the port, the MultiCOM adapter (p/n

MC01) is available.

Serial cross DB9F-DB25M cable (p/n SK03).

Note: Cables are not part of Clarity Control Module. It is strongly

recommended to order required cables together with the Control Module.

HPIB/RS232 Interface card set for HP 5890. Can be only obtained from

Agilent or third parties.

Caution: Check the Control Board compatibility table in the chapter "Agilent

5890 GC Control Module" on pg 1.

Note: The Interface card set includes the HP IB/RS232 Ribbon Cable (p/n

KB58- 1, Agilent order No. 19257- 60500), Back Panel (p/n KB58 2,

Agilent order No. 19257- 60020) and the Interface card (p/n KB58-3,

Agilent order No. 19257-60015). When using the HPIB card from Agilent,

the Ribbon Cable and Back panel have to be ordered separately.

Agilent 5890 3 Installation Procedure

3 Installation Procedure

3.1 GC Chromatograph setup

Installing the interface card in the GC unit

Note: Not necessary if the board is already installed

Unscrew and remove the right-hand panel of the chromatograph

Remove the original INET card

Set up the interface card - all switches on the DIP to the ON position

(closer to the outer edge of the card)

Insert the interface card

Note: On newer interface cards provided by DataApex company is the INET

loop connector disabled and the connection is provided by wires attached

to the back side of the card. If you want to use the loop cable for any

reason, cut off the wires on the back side of the card (Fig 2 on pg 3.).

Install the serial connector at the back of the GC (Models of the first series

5890A do not have a hole for this connector - then it is possible to put the

Cannon 25 connectors on the bottom of the GC)

Fig 2: Installation of the INET card

Switch the GC over to the Global Mode - press successively: .-3-ENTER -

ON -CLEAR.

Caution: Digital data acquisition works only in GLOBAL mode.

Test the INET loop function .-7-ENTER - and after the test - CLEAR.

Note: GC would not send „Ready“signal in local mode.

Analog acquisition alternative

When using A/D converter the GC has to be in Local Mode - press

successively: .-3-ENTER -OFF -CLEAR.

3 Installation Procedure Clarity Control Module

3.2 Connections

When the HP5890 is controlled by the serial line (RS232), both INET

connectors must be connected, which can be done by wiring on the back

side of the card or INET loop cable.

Communication between AS and PC (COM port) proceeds over standard

serial printer cable - see Fig 6 (modem cable cannot be used).

Note: If serial communication cannot be established and all parameters of

communication are correctly set (speed, parity, etc.), then we

recommend to remeasure the cable according to the following scheme

(especially pin connection 2 and 3).

Fig 3: Serial cross cable DB9F - DB25M

Note: Cables are not part of Clarity Control Module. It is strongly

recommended to order required cables (p/n SK) together with the

Control Module.

Agilent 5890 3 Installation Procedure

3.3 Description of connectors:

Signal 1 (2)

12-pin HP connector with output of both analog amplifiers (connected to

detector).

It is possible to plug in both orientations with same function.

Note: Not necessary when using the digital acquisition.

Remote

12-pin HP connector dedicated to send start signal to Clarity

It is necessary to plug it in proper position according to mark on cable

connector

Not necessary when using digital acquisition

INET

INET loop cable. In case of newer INET cards provided by DataApex

company, no loop cable is needed. The cable connection is replaced by

wiring on the back side of the card.

RS232

25-pin female Cannon connector for direct control and digital acquisition

3 Installation Procedure Clarity Control Module

3.4 Installing the GC module in the PC:

Select and if necessary install a fast serial port in the PC.

Caution: In the following procedure the setup of HP 5890 with digital acquisition

(without A/D converters) will be described.

Install Clarity station; in the HW Setup dialog check the None option

during installation.

Connect the GC to the PC by serial cable; turn the GC power on.
