1.Outline of PCAS
This chapter gives an outline of PCAS and explains basic inf ormation that needs to be
known before beginning operation.
■ What is an Analyzer Server?
An analyzer server is a system consisting of PC software (PCAS) for managing the netw ork
of an analyzer bus and saving the data of GC1000 Mark II and analyzer b us system interface unit (ASIU).
■ Features of the Analyzer Server
The analyzer server makes maintenance of analyzers simple because data such as concentration values, alarms, and chromatogr aphs can be continuously sav ed f or connected
analyzers (GC1000 Mark II and ASIU)
The data of up to 64 analyzers can be managed on one analyzer server that runs on a
general-purpose Windows PC . Furthermore, up to 14 analyzer servers can be operated on
the same network.
The analyzer server has functions for monitoring network status and keeping consistency
among multiple servers. A highly reliab le system can also be built b y using a dual redundant network configuration.

● Status Screen
This screen is for displa ying a list of the communication connection status of all registered
analyzers.
● Maintenance Screen
This screen is for uploading and downloading the parameters of analyz ers, changing the
communication status of the server, etc.
● Builder Screen

■ Explanation of T erms
● Server Equalization
This is the process of specifying any two servers (PCAS) when there are multiple servers
on the same network and copying and backing up all the inf ormation of one server onto the
other server.
● Primary Server and Secondary Server
The term primary server is used for the server that is the equalization source and the term
secondary server is used for the server that is the equalization destination.
● Electronic Message
This is the packet used f or communication e xchange between an analyz er and the server .
● Filter
This is a means of displaying only necessary/unnecessary electronic messages in the
Network Monitoring screen.
● Server Communication Status
This is the term used when indicating communication is permitted or no connection is possible.
● Memory Dump
This is the operation of the server acquiring the internal information of an analyzer in binary
format.
