EX1200A Series Preparation for Use

An executable for installing JRE is available on the

VTI Instruments Corp. Drivers and Product

Manuals

CD provided with the EX1200A. If JRE is currently installed on the host PC, the

software installation instruction for this software can be skipped.

The

LXI Discovery Tool

searches for all LAN-based VTI devices on the network and can be

downloaded from

LXI Consortium Website

. This utility leverages

Apple’s

Bonjour

plug-in, please

use version v2.0.2 and later for proper operation of the LXI Discovery Tool..

Java Installation

Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is required to access the SFP page of the EX1200A. Prior to
installing JRE, ensure that all IE sessions have been closed. To install JRE, insert the

VTI Instruments Corp. Drivers and Product Manuals

CD into the host PCs CD-ROM and, using

Windows Explorer, navigate to the

<CD-ROM Drive>:\EX Platforms Requisites

directory. Next,

run the

JRESetup.exe

program. Once installation begins, simply follow the on-screen

instructions.

RIVER

NSTALLATION

To monitor and/or control the EX1200A

’s instrume

nts programmatically (via a user generated

program or through tools such as HP

VEE, National Instrument’s Switch Executive, etc.), two

additional components must be installed: the IVI Shared Components library and the provided
VTI Instruments driver. Follow these steps:

IVI Shared Components Installation

If this component was installed during a previous LXI instrument installation, please proceed to

Switch Instrument Driver Installation

. First, close all other open programs, leaving only Windows

Explorer open. Navigate to the
