6.3 Configuration of IC Net
Start IC Net 2.3
Under
Options / Global Preferences the following must be marked: under If method changed - Don’t ask
to save and System file overwrite - Always .
With the TitrIC software a predefined IC system is also installed. It’s found under
C:\Program
Files\Metrohm\IC Net 2.3\IC Net\Systems\Anion\anion.smt and C:\Program Files\Metrohm\IC Net 2.3\IC
Net\Systems\Cation\cation.smt . Open the two systems, click on Control / Connect to workplace and
choose the right COM-Port. If you don’t know to which COM-Ports the systems are connected
to you have to try out until you have communication between PC and the 861. Work should
always be carried out with these systems, as otherwise the result transfer to TitrIC will be
disturbed. This is why, if the systems have to be altered, the existing system is always altered
and saved under the same name.
The suppressor step is not made at the start of the measurement in the usual way, but with Fill
directly after the end of the chromatogram. These means that after long pauses between
measurements the suppression may no longer function. This is why after longer pauses you
should carry out a suppressor step manually and ensure that the injection valve is in the Fill
position.
Depending on the application and column it may be necessary to adapt the time program in the
IC system: Inject should always be carried out right at the start (0.10 min) of the time program,
Fill right at the end. In this way you can start to measure with a stable baseline immediately
after the sample loop has been filled by the Dosino.
If a calibration is carried out later and the new calibration data are to be applied to a sample that
has already been measured then this is possible by using TitrIC – see the online help of the
TitrIC software under
Database / Recalculate / Recalculate for the results of several samples.
Shut down IC Net 2.3
6.4 Configuration of TitrIC
TitrIC is started (tiamo and IC Net are started automatically at the same time)
All paths have already been entered as defaults and the system is ready for work. If other paths
have been used instead of the default paths then this must be altered in the corresponding
dialog under
Workplace / Settings / … .
TitrIC starts tiamo and IC Net at the same time. However, the tiamo window is not visible, but
can be brought to the foreground in TitrIC via View / Show tiamo .
If TitrIC is shut down then tiamo will also be shut down automatically – but IC Net must always
be shut down individually. Always shut down TitrIC as the first program! If tiamo is accidentally
shut down first then TitrIC is also no longer visible; the program will continue to run in the
background. It can then be shut down with a right-hand click on an empty position in the
Taskbar
and a left-hand click on Task manager / Processes / TitrIC.exe / End process .
For further information please consult the TitrIC online help ( ? / Show Help ) or contact the
responsible person at your local Metrohm agency. You can also report your problems to the
following support email: [email protected].
Always start and shut down TitrIC first!
