1. Introduction
Description User documentation for the S1 TITAN and TRACER 5i analyzers is in the form of a suite of Manuals,
each with its own specific purpose. This document, the Accessories Manual, should be used in
conjunction with the S1 TITAN and TRACER 5i User Manual, Bruker document number 030.0112,
and describes how to use the analyzer with accessories.
2. Connections
Description Connections, under Utilities -> System Setup, allows communication between the analyzer and
Bluetooth, USB, and Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi is described in the Supervisor Manual, Bruker document
