Ethernet
Each RL1 is factory pre-set to use DHCP. To connect the RL1:
•
Connect the RL1 to the network via an Ethernet cable
•
Swipe on the front panel touchscreen to the
Setup
page to view the RL1

IP address
The TCP/IP libraries provided by most operating systems are sufficient. JGR Optics can provide a
communications library upon request.
Note: any
VISA
implementation is capable of controlling the RL1 via TCP/IP.
Step-by-step Guide
This section will provide a step-by-step programming guide in a
.NET
programming environment such as
C#
or
VB.NET
. Steps 3-
5 below can be skipped if using JGR’s
CommunicationsLib.dll
(available upon
request).
1.
Install
VISA
drivers on the development system
2.
Connect the RL1 via its USB B port to the development system
3.
Add a reference to
Ivi.Visa.dll
in your project:
C:\Program Files (x86)\IVI Foundation\VISA\Microsoft.NET\Framework32\v2.0.50727\VISA.NET Shared
Components 5.11.0\Ivi.Visa.dll
4.
Use the
IVI.Visa.GlobalResourceManager
to find all USB instruments on your system:
