USB Connection

The BIT-3000 DSGA can be controlled from any PC via a USB connection.

Note that there are two USB connectors on the rear side of the instrument. Only the square shaped

(type B) connector can be used to establish a remote connection. The rectangular connector (type A)

is only used for system upgrades (see page 28).

Connecting to USB

Connecting only requires a standard USB type A to USB type B connector cable.

When a BIT-3000 DSGA is connected to a PC for the first time, drivers are required. The BIT-3000

DSGA registers as a virtual serial port device. This driver is available from the BitifEye website.

Determining the VISA address

The VISA address is typically “ASRL#::INSTR”, where “#” is the COM port address. The Keysight

Connection Expert will automatically shown an item for this port under “My Instruments”. Click “+

Add”, “Serial Instrument on ASRL

portnumber

” to connect to the instrument.

If multiple ASRL ports (i.e. COM ports) are shown, you can determine the COM port address by

opening the “device manager” in the Windows computer settings (see Figure 12). When the proper

drivers are installed, one of the listed COM ports will be shown as “BitifEye BIT-3000”.

The Keysight Connection Expert will show a VISA address for the instrument, e.g. “ASRL10:INSTR”.

With this VISA address, a VISA connection can be established to send SCPI commands.
