What boards do I need for computer (serial) control of a Varian 3400 chromatograph?
For serial control of your chromatograph, you need a Varian serial interface board and a compatible Varian CPU board. These boards reside in slots on the left side of the instrument. Slot “S I/O” is for the serial board. The revision number for the CPU board can be noted when the chromatograph first starts or “INSTR TEST” is invoked. The number is of the form: 03-910xxx-00 where “xxx” is the number of interest.
