3.3 Connecting a computer
The 863 Compact Autosampler requires a USB connection to a computer
in order to be able to be controlled by the PC software MagIC Net (ver-
sion 1.1 or newer). With a 6.2151.110 USB connection cable (Mini-USB
OTG/USB A), the instrument can be connected either directly to a USB
socket on a computer, to an attached USB hub or to another suitable
Metrohm instrument (e.g. 850 Professional IC, 881 Compact IC pro, 882
Compact IC plus or 883 Basic IC plus).
Note
If the 863 Compact Autosampler is not to be controlled by MagIC Net,
then no direct connection to a PC is required. In such cases, the instru-
ment is used in so-called stand-alone mode and is connected via
remote cable to a corresponding control instrument.
Cable connection and driver installation
A driver installation is required in order to ensure that the 863 Compact
Autosampler is recognized by MagIC Net. To accomplish this, you must
comply with the procedures specified. The following steps are necessary:
1 Install the software
￭ Insert the MagIC Net installation CD and carry out the installation
program directions.
￭ Exit the program if you have started it after the installation.
2 Establish the cable connections
￭ Connect the instrument to the mains supply if you have not
already done this.
￭ Connect the instrument to a USB connector (Type A) of your com-
puter (see manual of your computer). The 6.2151.110 cable is
used for this purpose.
