2.3.3. Step 3: Connect the digiBASE to the Computer
1) Attach your PMT and detector to the digiBASE. Before doing so, make sure the PMT
matches the pin assignments shown in the figure above. Align the PMT pins so that they key
correctly, and firmly seat the PMT in the digiBASE socket.
2) With the computer powered on, connect the digiBASE to the USB port on your computer.
3) Windows will indicate that new hardware has been detected. In Windows 8 and 7, the driver
will install without a wizard. In XP, the new hardware installation wizard will open. Click
Next , indicate you do not wish to connect to the internet or the Microsoft website to locate
the driver, choose the “automatically locate driver” option, and follow the remaining prompts
to completion. When this operation is complete, you are ready to run the MCB Configuration
program so that MAESTRO and other C
ONNECTIONS
software can recognize the digiBASE.
2.3.4. Step 4: Run the MCB Configuration Program to Establish Communication
With Your MCBs
IMPORTANT
This is an abbreviated discussion of the operation and use of the MCB Configuration program.
We
strongly recommend that you read the instructions for the C
ONNECTIONS
Driver Update Kit
for complete details on the command line arguments that change how the program searches for
MCBs, customizing MCB ID Numbers and Descriptions, changing your Windows firewall
settings to allow MCB access across a network, enabling additional device drivers, and
troubleshooting.
1) Make sure the digiBASE is connected and powered on.
2) Connect and power on all other local and network ORTEC instruments that you wish to use,
as well as their associated computers. Otherwise, the MCB Configuration program will not
detect them during installation. Any instruments not detected can be configured at a later
time.
3) To start the software, type
mcb
in the “ Search programs and files ” box on the Windows
Start menu, then click the
MCB Configuration
search result; or open the Windows Start
menu and click
MAESTRO
, then
MCB Configuration
. The MCB Configuration program
will locate all of the powered-on ORTEC MCBs on the local computer and the network, and
display the list of instruments found (the
Master Instrument List ; Fig. 4). If you wish, you
may enter customized instrument ID numbers and descriptions (Section 2.3.4.2). When you
close the dialog, any changes you have made to an ID number or description will be written
back to the corresponding MCB.
