Clarity discussion forum

I have worked with Shimadzu 1600 UV vis spectrophotometers as HPLC
detectors. However in order to do that I need and ad board fitted in the
UV1600 to have an analog output and another DA to input the data in the
computer ( Quite redundant ).

Has Data apex considered developing a product that could control and uv vis
such as the 1600? and adquire data directly from the rs232 port into the
Clarity software controlling the UV VIS directly trough the Rs232 port.

I think it would be very nice for the following:

-Omit the ad boards

-I would be great for simple HPLC systems, for educative environments and
low budget applications


Do you have any comments?

At the moment we have no commnts.

Dear Carlos,

we are considering the development of an universal detector driver (similar to the UNI pump control module), which will enable the digital data acquisition over RS232 serial line from devices with a simple ASCII protocols available. This could solve the described situation with your UV-VIS spectrometer. However, as we have currently projects with higher priorities, we could not give any release time estimates now.

Best regards
