6.5 Serial Test Keyboard
To aid the user in operating the PRS, a Serial “Key-
board” Controller program - the easiest way to con-
trol serial devices without writing a program - is avail-
able from IET. This Serial Keyboard program auto-
matically finds your device at start-up and it lets you
enter just the data that you want to send to the de-
vice. This program works with ICS, Measurement
Computing and National Instruments controllers.
To implement, request a download of:
ICS_Serkybd_Install.zip, from IET Labs Tech
Support
Unzip the file and follow instructions to install.
Open the application. Initialize the COM PORT and
use the Device Command window to send a com-
mand string to the PRS, where the command string
is constructed as described in Chapter 7. A command
string might be, for example:
SOURce:DATA resistance string
