Gas chromatograph DANI Master GC and UniChrom

Producer: DANI Analytica.

Master GC series instruments are among the best in Europe today. High reproducibility and high robustness make this instrument a perfect choice for any type of GC analysis.

Our DataSystem UniChrom can mostly control this instrument. The current driver supports instrument connection via RS-232 interface and via Ethernet TCP/IP network.

Main highlights

• Modern design and high robustness
• Suitable for almost any GC applications
• Advanced capillary inlet construction and probe splitting modes
• Many others

Limitations

• Driver is incomplete and works only in "read-only" mode. Method upload is unfinished and has to be performed from GC panel.
  

UniChrom specific

The UniChrom configuration guide: DANI Master and UniChrom (ENG)

UniChrom differentiate two firmware versions which slightly different in protocol handling.

Dani driver will automatically detect GC and connect with it as user selected corresponding GC device in UniChrom. RS-232 connection is detected automatically when no ComName parameter is specified for instrument. To force RS-232 connection at specific port, simply and set ComName to desired com port (e.g. COM7).

TCP/IP connection requires that parameter ComName would be in form tcp:a.b.c.d[:ppp], where a.b.c.d is decimal representation of IP address assigned to chromatograph or the DNS hostname (e.g. tcp:192.168.0.251:10001) and ppp is tcp port number which GC listens (typically 10001 - built-in Lantronix server port).

Driver is supported on platforms

• Windows (32,64)
• Linux (32,64)
• MacOS/X (32/64)

This instrument driver is designed as "Networked Chromatograph"
