To run the executable versions of the control program, the user should set up the
LabVIEW Run-Time engine by running the programs under “\LVRunTimeEng_8.2” (on
the CD-ROM), and install the driver program for VISA (used for RS-232, distributed by
National Instruments) by running the program named “Visa400runtime.exe”. For USB
control, the USB drivers also need to be installed (see section 4.4.2). For details on
Ethernet and GPIB setup, see section 4.4.3. Once the necessary drivers and other setup
parameters are in place, the executable programs in the application directory can be run.
After the necessary drivers are installed, the programs (executable and/or source code)
should be copied to the hard drive and run from there.
Note: Always close the control program (and LabView as well if using the VI version of
the control program) before turning off the instrument.
When the program is first started, it will ask whether the communication interface to be
used is Ethernet or something else.
Ethernet
If the user selects “Ethernet”, the program will ask for the IP address:
Click “OK”.
Type the instrument’s IP address into the IP Address text box and click the “Establish
Connection” button at the top left of the screen. The program will attempt to connect to
the PDLE.
If the connection is successful, the connection status indicator at the top left of the screen
will turn green, and the main screen will show the single PDL setting interface.
