4-1 Operation (Via Personal Computer)
Via the new RS-232 connection on Model 0152/0154 it is possible to
control analogue devices (i.e. 5800S*, E and i series, TR Model , 5866
pressure controller and Flomega) with a Personal Computer (PC).
Brooks has developed two executable software applications (Available is a
TestPoint and LabView version, see Figures 11 and 12) for communication
between Model 0152/0154 and a PC. For the LabView it is required to have
a registered copy of LabView (the supplied file is a .LLB format)
Both application versions handle the full capacity to control the connected
devices. The available parameters to be used for controlling the
connected devices are setpoint, flow and V.O.R..
For operation of the application software it is required to have the Brooks
Smart DDE software (version 1.1 or higher) running on the P.C.)
Version 1.1 of Smart DDE can operate without the software protection key
(dongle) when Interfacing with Model 0152/0154.
Note: Direct communication between The Brooks 58xx S-series and PC
via Smart DDE requires the dongle.
Brooks Smart DDE software can be helpful for users that want to design a
customised software application in conjunction with Model 0152/0154. In
this case the application software must be able to handle DDE (Dynamic
Data Exchange).
(*S series selected for analog I/O).
