Remote Trigger Agilent 1100

We're trying to take a cut from a flow reactor with a vici valve and analyse using our old 1100 HPLC. Ideally, we'll be sending the start signal using a custom python script which is controlling our flow reactor.

We know this can be done using the remote port on the HPLC and all it needs is the right electrical pulses to the right contacts. There's some information in the manual but it's not altogether detailed or that helpful. We did contact Agilent but they just asked if we'd read the manual.

I don't imagine we're the first to try this, does anyone have any experience in this to help at all?

Thanks!
