Basic Operation
The following steps
must
be carried out before communication with the 9200 may take place:
Ensure that the proper drivers have already been installed on the remote computer.
These drivers will need to be installed for the remote computer to interface to the 9200.
Reference the “9200 Setup
USB” section for more information on installing the proper
drivers.
Open the 9200 application by double clicking on the application which can be found on
the included CD.
Once the 9200 application recognizes the COM Port the 9200 is attached to , a
connection will be established, and communication may now be carried out.
System Section
The System Section of the 9200 application
only affects the 9200’s system parameters. As
shown below in Figure 6.2, the following system parameters may be altered:
Figure 6.2
–9200 Application: System Parameters
Pulse Mode:
Changes the system’s output mode to Continuous, Single Shot, Burst, or
Duty Cycle.
Period:
Sets the System’s T
0
period. Valid inputs are 200ns
–1000s set in 10ns
increments.
Duty Cycle:
If Duty Cycle has been selected in the System’s Pulse Mode, the unit will
generate a continuous pulse stream in which outputs will be
On for “N” pulses and Off
for “M” pulses. One may alters the “N” (On) and “M” (Off) parameters:
On Counts (“N”):
Positive integer value which designates the number of
pulses to produce during the “On Cycle.” Valid inputs are 1-1,000,000.
Off Counts (“M”):
Positive integer value which designates the number of
pulses to suppress during the “Off Cycle.” Valid inputs are 1-1,000,000.
Burst Count:
If Burst mode has been selected in the System’s Pulse Mode, the Burst
Counts positive integer input selects the number of T
0
pulses generated once the
Run/Stop button has been pressed. Valid inputs are 1-1,000,000.
Run:
Enables or disables the output for all channels. This command is the same as
pressing the Run/Stop button on either the front or back panel.
