Setting Up GRL-PCIE-TX Automation Software 

This section provides the procedures to start up and pre-configure the GRL-PCIE-TX automation 
software before running tests. It also helps users familiarize themselves with the basic operation 
of the software

. 

Note: The GRL-PCIE-TX software installer will automatically create shortcuts in the Desktop and 
Start Menu when installing the software.  

To start using the GRL-PCIE-TX software, follow the procedures in the following sections. 

3.1

 

Download GRL-PCIE-TX Software 

Download and install the GRL-PCIE-TX software as follows: 
1.

 

If the GRL-PCIE-TX 

software is to be installed on a PC (where is referred to as ‘controller PC’), 

install VISA (Virtual Instrument Software Architecture) on to the PC where the GRL software is 
to be used (see Section 2.2).  

2.

 

Download the software ZIP file package from the Granite River Labs support site. 

3.

 

The ZIP file contains: 

•

 

PCIETxTestApplicationxxxxxxxxxxxxSetup.exe

 

–

 Run this on the PC or on the 

oscilloscope to install the GRL-PCIE-TX application. 

•

 

PCIe4_TxTestScopeSetupFilesInstallationxxxxxxxxxSetup.exe

 

–

 Run this on the 

oscilloscope to install the scope setup files. 

3.2

 

Launch and Set Up GRL-PCIE-TX Software  

4.

 

Once the GRL-PCIE-TX software is installed, open the GRL folder from the Windows Start 
menu. Click on 

GRL 

–

 Automated Test Solutions

 within the GRL folder to launch the GRL 

software framework.
