Clarity Configuration

The following chapter explains how to set the instrument number and type, how to assign Colibrick channels to a specific instrument, and how to name those channels and set units.

The configuration of particular control modules is described in the corresponding Clarity Controls manuals.

System Configuration dialog

  • Set the Number of Instruments field ①.

    • Note:

    You can set a larger number of Instruments than you have purchased. You will not be able to measure on the surplus Instruments (indicated by a blue icon on the tab) but you may use them e.g. for “offline” evaluation of chromatograms from other projects.

  • Set the corresponding type of chromatograph (GC/LC/EA/GPC...) using the button ②.
  • Instruments can be selected on the Instrument tab ③. Each instrument can have a different configuration depending on your hardware configuration.
  • Add devices to the list on the left using the Add button ④ in the lower left corner of the dialog. After adding a device, a setup dialog will appear. This dialog varies for each device; an example for a Colibrick is shown below.
  • To modify the instrument configuration, drag and drop the equipment from the Setup Control Modules list on the left to the selected Instrument tab on the right. Alternatively, select the device ⑤ and press the button ⑥.
  • For the proper setting of Numbers in the Data Inputs & Outputs group ⑦ see the chapter "Connecting Autosamplers (AS)"
  • The setup dialog of each device can be invoked again by double-clicking on its name or by selecting it and clicking the Setup button ⑧:

Dialog for the setting of a Colibrick converter

  • Check and/or change the settings of the converter (e.g. set the names of the detectors, signal polarity, etc.).

Note:

You can change the signal units and offset using this dialog. A more accurate description can be found in the Colibrick manual.

  • Click the OK button to save the changes in the configuration.
