Is the 717 Autosampler supported in Empower 3? - WKB7206

ENVIRONMENT

• Empower 3
• 717 Autosampler
• 717+ Autosampler
• Only connects by IEEE-488.

ANSWER

The 717/717+ is now an obsolete product and is only supported in FR5 or below because IEEE support was deprecated in Empower after FR5.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

"Empower 3 supported instruments and devices" reference guide

Refer to later Empower version release notes

To further align its products, after the release of Empower 3 Feature Release 5 Service Release Waters 4 no longer offers Empower defect corrections or enhancements related to IEEE control in any release of Empower. As a result, support for IEEE instrument control ceased in all versions of Empower after the release of Empower 3 Feature Release 5 Service Release 4. Use of IEEE instrument control beyond Empower 3 Feature Release 5 Service Release 4 was not tested, will not be tested, and is not supported.
