Setting the number and type of instruments

Before Adding any devices to an Instrument, it is necessary to define the Instrument Type and, if applicable, the Number of Instruments.

Both settings are configured in the System Configuration dialog and depend on the purchased licenses or the intended use (for example Using Offline Instrument for data evaluation). These settings determine which devices can be assigned to individual Instruments.

1. Open the System Configuration dialog: select System - Configuration… in the Main window.
2. In the Number of Instruments field ⓐ, set the required number of instruments.
3. Set the Instrument Type field ⓑ according to the type of instrument you are using e.g., GC or LC. To be able to assign some of the devices to the Instrument, correct Instrument Type has to be selected.
