6.2  Cohesion Manager

Cohesion Manager is a single-window utitlity application that shows the status of all Cohesion Software Services running on the system.

By default, these Cohesion Software Services will start automatically on startup of Windows and need to be running to facilitate proper 

communication with the Quantifi Photonics PXIe modules. 

CohesionDriver

required

manages installed Quantifi Photonics modules

CohesionSCPI

required

VXI11 compliant SCPI interface for TCP communication with the installed Quantifi Photonics modules

CohesionUI

optional

web service providing a graphical interface for simplified operation of installed Quantifi Photonics modules

To open Cohesion Manager:

Search for Cohesion Manager in the Windows Start Menu.

From Cohesion Manager you can:

 1.  Start or stop the CohesionDriver service, CohesionSCPI service, or CohesionUI service independently.

 2.  View all installed Quantifi Photonics system utilities.

 3.  In this example you can open the Cohesion Firmware Updater application.

If you can't detect or communicate with modules:

Open Cohesion Manager.

Check the status of software services, and start a service if required.
