1.Outline of PCAS
This chapter gives an outline of PCAS and explains basic information 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 network of an analyzer bus and saving the data of GC1000 Mark II and analyzer bus 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 chromatographs can be continuously saved for 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 reliable system can also be built by using a dual redundant network configuration.

■ Explanation of Terms
● 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 information 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 for communication exchange between an analyzer 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.
