5 Installing Additional Devices in the Galaxie Chromatography Software Devices not listed in Supported Devices for the Varian Modular HPLC System Galaxie Driver section on Page 2 need to be added separately. To add them to a Galaxie controlled HPLC system you will need to modify the new system in Galaxie Configuration Manager, and add each additional driver individually. To install additional modules: 1. Configure your system following the instructions listed in the previous section titled Configuring a Modular HPLC System for Galaxie. 2. If you do not have them present on your system already, install the Varian LC drivers following Steps 3-7 below. Otherwise, skip to Step Insert the Galaxie or Varian LC CD into your CD drive. The CD browser will start automatically. If it does not, launch the browser by running Install.exe from the root directory of the CD. 4. From the CD browser click Install Varian Drivers. 5. Click Install Varian LC. 6. Click Next, read and accept the License Agreement and enter your Varian LC serial number in the corresponding field. The serial number is provided on your driver serial number card or on the Galaxie CD and is different from the Galaxie serial number. If you have already installed the Varian Modular HPLC System Galaxie Driver, you will not need to enter in another serial number. The serial number is case sensitive. 7. Click Next and then click OK when prompted. Click on Finish at the end of the installation. 8. Click Start > Programs > Galaxie > Galaxie Configuration Manager and then login. Depending on your device, you may need to configure the communication protocols. Consult your device operating manual or the Galaxie Installation Guide for instructions on how to configure the device. For example, for an additional 210/218/SD-1 pump, you will need to select Communication engine configuration and select the software protocol before configuring your system. 9. Click Systems in the Organization section of the browser. 10. Right-click the system to be modified in the Systems section and then select Edit. 11. Click Next on the System (Properties edition) window, and then Next on the System Name and Groups/Projects window. 12. Click Add. 13.

Find the new system in the Stations/Systems list. Selecting one at a time, drag all detector channels, CIM, MIB signal and fraction collector items onto the ProStar 400, 410, 420 or 430 device in the list. You will need to drag each item onto the 400, 410, 420 or 430 device twice for the item to move. Select and drag all detector channels, CIM, MIB signals and fraction collector items twice in a row onto the ProStar 410 Autosampler device to move them under the autosampler. Figure 1.
