Temperature Control Accessory for Agilent 8453 UV-visible

Spectrophotometer

In This Book

This handbook describes operation, installation, maintenance and repair,

using GPIB commands, and service of the temperature control accessory.

The handbook has four parts.

Part 1 “Installing and Maintaining Your Temperature Controller” describes

how you install, and maintain your temperature control unit, cell holder

(option #100), external sensor (option #200) and GPIB commands PROM

(option #305).

Part 2 “Using Your Temperature Controller” describes how you operate your

temperature controller; that is the temperature control unit with the cell

holder (option #100) and external sensor (option #200). There is also a

description of what you do in response to the messages that the control unit

displays.

Part 3 “Using GPIB Commands with the Temperature Controller” is intended

to provide information necessary to interface the temperature control unit to

various computer systems, for option #305. It is written from a software

interfacing point of view and assumes that the reader is knowledgeable in

software interfacing concepts.

Part 4 “Servicing the Temperature Controller” is intended only for use by

Agilent Technologies service personnel or other qualified engineers. It

contains a description of the electronics, and information about the service,

cables and connectors, and replacement parts of your temperature

controller.
