Chapter 1Introducing the EmpowerSystem1This chapter provides an overview of the Empower system, its components, and basicfunctions. The Empower system is a single or multisystem computer, linked to a set ofchromatographic instruments, that performs acquisition, processing, and management ofchromatographic information.1.1 About the Empower SystemThe Empower system is a total chromatography and results management system that youcan adapt to your individual chromatography requirements. It consists of the followingcomponents: Empower computer in one of three configurations:– Personal stand-alone workstation– Workgroup configuration– Enterprise client/server system Empower software running one of four user interfaces:– Pro– QuickStart– Open Access– Web Empower databaseTogether, these components allow you to: Control instrumentation and acquire data Process data interactively or in the background Customize management of project informationAbout the Empower System1
Customize report design and generation Adapt operations to methods development, research, or quality control and testenvironments11.2 Empower System HardwareThe Empower system consists of a computer that runs Empower software and theEmpower database. The basic hardware configurations are: Personal workstation Workgroup Enterprise system1.2.1 Empower WorkstationThe Empower Personal workstation is a stand-alone, single-user personal computer. It caninclude a busLAC/E card interface, COM port, and/or an 8-port serial interface card(part number WAT280126), and a local database that supports the Empowerchromatography application software. There is no limit to the number of chromatographicsystems that you can configure in the software; however, only four chromatographicsystems can be
