The USBTest program has only one screen, and appears as shown in the following figure.
Figure 7-9 USBTest main screen.
Once you have the program up and running and the screen in the previous figure is
displayed, you can use the program to first identify whether or not one or more Lambda 10-3
units are installed as USB devices. This is accomplished by first clicking the Search button
which causes USBTest to scan the USB for the device requested. The search criterion is
dependent on which one of the three radio buttons following "Open by:" is selected:
Description, Serial Number, or Dev #. The results of the search are displayed on the "Data
Received:" text field: highlight the item displayed there ("Lambda 10-3", serial number, or
device number) and then click on it to select it. The selected item is then automatically
copied to the text field associated with the Search button. Finally, click the Open button to
open the Lambda 10-3 USB device for communication. The text field associated with the
Open button will be updated with a message indicating that the USB device has been
successfully opened. To verify communications with the Lambda 10-3, click on different filter
wheel radio buttons, at different speeds - you should be able to see and hear the filter wheel
