Contents Topic Page Waters Empower Software 1-2 Typical system configurations 1-2 Hardware and software requirements 1-4 Devices supported by Empower 1-7 1-1 Waters Empower Software ® The Waters Empower™ Software system includes these elements:. Chromatographic instrumentation. Chromatographic data acquisition and data processing computers. Empower software, a 32-bit data acquisition and management software application, with advanced integrated database architecture Tip: Although Empower 3 software is a 32-bit application, it will run in a 64-bit environment.
The system acquires, processes, reports, and manages chromatographic information. Empower offers easy-to-use technology and converts high-quality, accurate results into usable information while meeting security and regulatory compliance requirements. It is a complete chromatography and results management system that you can adapt to your individual chromatography requirements by using as many or as few Empower software capabilities as you require. Typical system configurations Empower can operate in the following configurations:. Empower Personal workstation (see the figure “Typical Empower Personal workstation configuration:” on page 1-3). Empower Workgroup system or Enterprise client/server (see the figure “Typical Empower Workgroup system or Enterprise client/server configuration:” on page 1-3) Note: The licensing strategy for Empower 3 Workgroup represents a change from previous versions of Empower.
The Workgroup configuration is identical to that of the Enterprise configuration except that the Workgroup license restricts the installation to 10 or fewer Named User licenses. Restriction: You cannot perform an in-place upgrade for any Personal 32 workstations, clients, or LAC/E modules to Empower 3 software. Instead, you perform a full installation of the software on each of these components. On a server; however, a system object export/import capability is available to migrate your system objects from a previous version of Empower to this version (Empower 3). 1-2 Introduction Note: Projects and licenses are not included in the system object export.
The following figures show typical Empower Personal workstation and Empower Workgroup system or Enterprise client/server configurations.
