Chromeleon

• Chromeleon™ 7.2 SR5 (and later)
• DECADE Elite, Lite and ROXY Exceed
• Including e-Panels

Chromeleon™ CDS is a fully featured data acquisition software from Thermo Fisher Scientific. The DECADE Elite/Exceed driver adds full instrument control for Electrochemical Detection (ECD) and Reactors (for EC/MS) up to 2 channels in a single time base. Supported is the DC mode with constant potential measurement for most applications, and the PULSE mode for special applications such as carbohydrates and aminoglycosides. A time table is supported for time based control of several operational parameters and triggers for external devices by switching relays. Also, an external electric valve can be controlled via the Elite in case of special applications such as column switching during an analysis.

• Antec license bit set in ECD (firmware ≥ 1.09)
• Chromeleon 7.2 SR5 (or later) license incl. class 3 device support

The driver has been developed with Chromeleon 7.2.9 – 7.2.10 (and later) and with DECADE Elite/Exceed firmware ≥ 1.09. It is functional for CDS versions 7.2 SR5 and up. A recent version Dialogue Elite software is required to be able to update the firmware and write the (paid) license code to the Elite. With new devices this code is factory set, in case of field upgrades the code is set by a special settings file. You should have a Chromeleon license with class 3 device support, consult your Thermo Scientific contact for details. Contact us for part number and prices.

For control of original native Thermo instruments, a Chromeleon class 1 or 2 license suffices. When working with third party instruments, such as DECADE Elite or ALEXYS, the class 3 license is needed. An existing workstation license can be upgraded to class 3 (pn 7000.0003). It is an extension of the class 1 and 2 license and functionality. If there is not such workstation license for class 1 or 2 already, a full license needs to be added first (7200.0201) with additionally the upgrade to class 3. Price indication between 5 – 12k€.

An enterprise license works slightly different (pn 7200.1003). It is not available as an upgrade of an existing class 1 or 2 license but a new additional class 3 license. Price indication 10k€.

Partnumbers and prices are indicative, also depending on add-ons that may be required for a project. Always contact Thermo Scientific for advise.
