This publication describes the method of controlling Agilent 1260 Infinity LC Systems using Waters Empower chromatography data software through emulation mode. The software supports the evaluation of two-dimensional, three-dimensional, and spectral raw data acquired by Agilent 1260 Infinity UV detectors, except the Agilent 1260 Infinity DAD. It also provides support for maintenance and diagnostics through Agilent Lab Monitor and Diagnostic software.
Agilent 1260 Infinity LC Systems can be operated using the Waters Empower 2 chromatography data software with Instrument Control Software (ICS) 1.05. This setup allows for easy installation and configuration of modules that require emulation mode via special firmware. It also supports the evaluation of raw data from UV detectors and maintenance diagnostics through Agilent Lab Monitor and Diagnostic software.
The document details the specific Agilent 1260 Infinity LC modules that support emulation, including pumps, detectors, autosamplers, and column compartments. It lists modules that are currently not controllable and outlines the configuration steps required to set up the system within an Empower client/server environment, including network settings and user access definitions.
