RS232 cable (6.2134.040) directly between the two ports. If
the PC does not have the built-in RS232 ports please
connect two USB/RS232 Converters (6.2148.050) to two
USB ports. You can e.g. use the USB hubs of the IC
instrument, but it is recommendable to use the USB hubs of
your computer, as they are more powerful. Then connect
the two converters using the RS232 cable (6.2134.040). In
the Device Manager of your Windows operating system
check which two RS232 ports you are using.
Open the MagIC Net software. On the left click on
‘
Configuration’ , then in the devices window select
‘ Edit/New/Miscellaneous’ and choose the RS 232 device.
Keep the proposed Device name and enter a random serial
number. Go to the RS232 subsection and choose one of the
used RS232 ports. Click on ‘
Connect’ and confirm with .
Close the window with
Repeat the same steps in the tiamo TM software and choose
the second RS232 port.
7. Complete Analysis with TitrIC
As an example a short description of a complete analysis
with TitrIC pro III is described here.
The whole procedure is controlled by the MagIC Net
software which is the master software. In tiamo
TM , the
method TitrIC pro III is selected as a single determination.
Start the determination in an autorepeat mode. To set it into
autorepeat go to the Run window, right-mouse-click and
select ‘
Properties Run window’ . Under Process select
‘ Autorepeat determination’ . Close the window with .
Start the determination. Now tiamo TM is waiting for the start
signal from MagIC Net via RS232.
In the MagIC Net software select the method TitrIC pro III .
Enter the required sample position, sample identification etc.
into MagIC Net. For value 1 choose according to the list
below:
 Value 1 = 1 a complete analysis including titration and
ion chromatography
 Value 1 = 2 only an ion chromatography analysis (e.g.
a calibration)
 Value 1 = 3 only a titration analysis
Start the determination in MagIC Net. All sample liquid
handling is done by MagIC Net. At the right moment MagIC
Net communicates to tiamo
TM via RS232 to do the titration
analysis. Results are transferred back to MagIC Net and the
rinsing steps of the titration equipment by MagIC Net
initialized.
All data goes into the MagIC Net database and therefore
one report can be generated.
