UNICORN control capacity

This section describes UNICORN’s capability to control systems in stand-alone installations and network installations.

In a stand-alone installation the computer can be connected to a maximum of

• 12 ÄKTAxpress systems

• 4 systems of other types than ÄKTAxpress.

The list below describes some basic facts about network installations:

• Systems must be locally linked to a workstation which is linked to the network. In other words, the systems are not directly linked to the network.

• Each local workstation can be connected to a maximum of

  12 ÄKTAxpress systems

  4 systems of other types than ÄKTAxpress.

• A network can support up to 99 chromatography systems which are connected locally to the workstations in the network.

• A workstation can locally or remotely control up to four chromatography systems. This is achieved using the four possible System Control windows in UNICORN which are available on each workstation.

• Each chromatography system in UNICORN

  can be controlled by only one active System Control window

  can be viewed by up to eight System Control windows.
