788 IC Filtration Sample Processor
112
For the 788 IC Filtration Sample Processor, the output lines 11–13 and
the input line 7 are occupied for the control of the swing head. These
four lines are not continued in the plug and ignored, when further in-
struments are connected via the remote cable (see section 2.4.2).
Various remote cables are available to use the specific functions of the
individual instruments of the various Metrohm model lines (see section
2.4.2). Metrohm also delivers special cables on request suited to the
customer’s needs, which allow complex couplings (including foreign in-
struments).

characteristics
Output lines
The 14 output lines of the remote socket can be separately set (stati-
cally) in manual operation as well as during method processing with the
"Control" command (CTL). A 14-place bit pattern must be defined for
this. Every bit is assigned to an output line.
Output 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
Bit
13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
(Bits are always numbered from right to left)
Example:
CTL Rm ************1*
sets the output line 1 to active (=set), that for example,
would switch on the pump of a connected 752 Pump Unit.
0
= inactive (high)
1
= active (low)
*
= no change
It is recommended to mask the output lines that are not relevant with a
asterisk (
*
) to prevent alterations to these line states.
