General
This manual describes only the basic functions which are necessary to get familiar with
IBPView
. Further
information can be obtained using the Software's help function.
IBPView
is intentionally not limited to
HDM instruments. It can be configured independently and therefore achieves its maximum flexibility to be
ready for future IBP products.
Hardware Interface
IBPView
uses serial COM ports for communication. This can be common RS232 serial interfaces like many
multimeters on the market use, or, like the
HDM97
virtual serial ports based on USB. Using virtual
COM ports it is necessary to define the number of the port once (COM1, COM2, COM3, etc.). The COM
port number of the hardware is defined automatically during the driver installation. The application must
know this number, in order to communicate with the device. For obtaining the number for the HDM97Pocket
please refer to chapter "Checking the driver installation". In this example "COM3" is used. Be aware that
connecting the
HDM97
to different physical USB receptacles will result in different COM port
numbers, one for each receptacle. This is done to make multiple HDM meters work with one computer
concurrently.
