4.4.1 Introduction
Basic+ HSU Utility
is PC software
that provides a user interface for the
Basic+ HSU via a USB connection.
It allows the user to view
temperature, voltage and status
information as well as set
parameters that change the
characteristics of the output voltage.
If it is needed, you can download
the latest version of the software
from the following URL:
http://www.lasermech.com/hsuupdates.asp
Note: You MUST configure a new
HSU. The first time you power up
your HSU and Basic+ interface
you must choose:
Nozzle type or tip retainer
assembly (TRA) to be used
Output curve to be used
The remainder of this section
describes how to configure the HSU
and Basic+ interface.
4.4.2 Connecting
Connect the USB cable to your PC.
If this is your first time connecting
the cable, you will need to wait for
the drivers to be installed. Once you
get the message that the device is
ready to use, you can launch
Basic+
HSU Utility
. If your
computer is unable to locate a
driver, you can download the latest
version from the following URL:
http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm
To connect to a Basic+ HSU, select
the COM port of the USB cable from
the drop-down list. The cable will
generally take the highest numbered
port in the list at the time it is first
connected. You can also consult the
Device Manager to determine the
port number of the cable, which will
appear as “USB Serial Port”.
