T3SP-D4MX Operator’s Manual

3. Programming

To have a quick access to the T3SP-D4MX and to be able to perform tests, the

Windows application

WinD4MX.exe

can be downloaded from the Teledyne

LeCroy website. The program does not need to be installed and does not

require any additional driver components.

Figure 4: Control application

WinD4MX.exe

To integrate the device into your own software environment for remote con-

trol, please read the following sections.

3.1 USB Interface Description

The T3SP-D4MX is controlled via a USB 2.0 interface based on a communica-

tion chip from Future Technology Devices International Limited (FTDI). Win-

dows operating systems usually have the required D2XX-driver for this chip

family pre-installed. If this is exceptionally not the case, the corresponding

driver can be downloaded from the

FDTI driver download page

.

The device is not controlled via a virtual comport protocol, therefore it is

necessary to control it via the

cDMXU.dll

32-bit shared library shipped

with the device. In order to simplify the device connection, some program-

ming examples are listed in the following section. In case a 64-bit shared

library is required, please contact our

Teledyne LeCroy support

.

Please use only the supplied USB cable to avoid transmission errors.
