104 detector. The control module enables direct control of the instrument

over serial line.

Direct control means that the detector can be completely controlled from
the Clarity environment. The Instrument method controlling the analysis
conditions will be saved in the measured chromatograms.
The control is performed via the UNI Ruby control module and the
