1 Shimadzu LC-10/20 Pump

This manual describes the setting of the Shimadzu LC- 10/20 Pump ,
which may be used to create high-pressure or low-pressure gradient. The
control module enables direct control of the LC-10ADvp, LC-10ATvp and
LC-20A (whole series, LC-10 emulation mode) over serial line.

Caution: The Shimadzu LC-10/20 Pump control module can not be combined

with Shimadzu LC-10/20 System control module on a single PC where
Microsoft .NET Framework is installed.
The Shimadzu LC-10/20 Pump control module can control only a single
pump on a single PC, which means that it is not possible to control more
than one (of above mentioned) pump on a single PC through thiscontrol
module.

Direct control means that the pump can be completely controlled from the
Clarity environment. Instrument method controlling the analysis
conditions will be saved in the measured chromatograms.
