BNC565

Introduction:

Install and run BNC565 device on new computer.

Procedure:

Steps to run device:

1. If this is the first time you have run one of these devices on your network then follow steps of Add/Edit new device type and enter Name “BNC565” and Relative Path “BNC565\BNC565.lvclass” and click on create/Modify Devicetype.

2. Add New BNC565 Device by following steps of Create New Device and Launch New Device

3. If this is the first time you have run one of these devices on your network, when you launch the device it will create all the devicetype variables in your database. Close the device after it has been initialized.

3. Set the device variable for the VISA resource name (e.g. COM1) and any other variables you wish to set as default.

4. Launch the device. It should now work.

Notes

1. Not all the device functions are settable by this driver (any can be trivially added if required). Set the non-supported functions on the device itself. The goal of this driver was to allow scanning of delay and width.

2. If you want to use the amplitude variable, set the channel manually at the BNC565 to adjustable voltage. Otherwise the amplitude variable is ignored.

3. No GUI has been written for this device yet. Make your own or set values from Master Control.

4. If you need to use the USB option (the least preferred), then you must install the appropriate driver. If using serial or GPIB you don't need to install anything.
