If you install Chromeleon 7 on a PC where Chromeleon 6 is already installed, your mounted Chromeleon 6 datasources automatically become available (read-only) in Chromeleon 7. For connecting other Chromeleon 6 datasources, follow the subsequent steps.

To mount a Chromeleon 6 datasource:

Procedure

  1. Start the Data Vault Manager as described in section The Data Vault Manager.
  2. In the Data Vault Manager, click Chromeleon 6.
  3. NOTE

    When you try to access a Chromeleon 6 datasource where access control is enabled, you have to provide a valid Chromeleon 6 user ID and password.

  4. Click Browse or Datasource manager in the dialog that opens.
  5. Follow the familiar Chromeleon 6 steps.

NOTE

Chromeleon 7 utilizes the same registry keys for storing datasource connection data as Chromeleon 6 does.

For not common datasources:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Dionex\Chromeleon\Datasources\...

Consequently, when Chromeleon 6 is installed on the same PC, changes in Chromeleon 7 and Chromeleon 6 mutually affect each other.

On 64-bit Windows systems, the 32-bit registry editor must be used.
